Wish I could help, I've lived in the DFW area all my life, and finding a reputable engine shop has always been a struggle.
I guess the area is too metropolitan. There are shops that will work on European and Japanese engines, but go in asking about a tractor engine... They'll tell you to get out and get back on the turnip truck! LOL
There are a lot of shops listed, but none I can personally recommend. Sadly a lot of them have a reputation of turning repairable parts into scrap metal, and still expect to get paid!
There used to actually be some tractor repair shops around, but high taxes and code restrictions run them out of business.
You will probably get more interest hitting the small shops in the outlying towns. Look for some shops with tractors or implements parked around, ask who they use. Since they don't have an unending supply of new customers, they have to at least try to take care of what they have!
Being you can do the work, probably your best bet would be to do as much as you can as far as disassembly, clean up, parts chasing, and reassembly. Just let a machine shop do the head, crank, whatever specialty work needing done.

I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
