Try to find a local machine shop that does hobby stock, circle track, sportsman class, etc. engines. If they are really good you will find that they also do vintage car motors and tractors. They will have no problem rebuilding your B230F, all the fun is in doing it yourself. You might want to talk to them about using OEM parts rather than the cheapest junk out there.

Are you sure you need a rebuild rather than just a valve job ? If you haven't done a compression test, you might save a lot of money by buying ( or renting) a compression tester. If you have checked the compression, what did you get ?
