Default LS1 Machine Work in DFW

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a couple of reputable machine shops in the DFW area to hone my cylinder walls, and put new cam bearings in my ls1. Also would anyone know how much I would expect to pay for someone to rework my short block reusing my pistons?



Thanks

i recently had some machine work on my motor. i got a half grind on the crank, honed out one of the rods, complete valve job, hone all the cylinders, new cam bearings, new rod bearings, new main bearings and new rings. everything together was about 1000, labor and all.

This was a two part question. I would rather have someone just rework the short block as it will save me the trouble and potential disaster of doing it myself. Just wanted to clarify.
