Many thanks to Bill Wemple and George Smith for their help. I opened the mapinfow.prj file in a text editor, and edited the parameters of the Regional Conformal (North America) listing, changing the false easting, false northing, and origin coordinates. (Parameters for each projection category is under Appendix F of the MI Reference Guide.)

The projection provided for both dxf and shp files is Lambert conical Orthomorthic with one standard parallel. False coordinates of the origin are 250,000m easting and 150,000m northing. I'm not sure how to handle the false origin when translating. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks (as always!), Erin Rubio Spatial Insights, Inc.
