Price's Machine Shop in Shepherdsville KY. They are old school but do good work. They did all the machine work for the 383 I built in this thread.
This block was cleaned, bored and honed with a torque plate, all new cam bearings, decked, checked line bore,...etc. the works.
Balanced rotating assembly to within .5 gram, with stock balancer and flywheel.

I have been around this shop since I was a kid.
Also Mattingly's Machine Shop in Bardstown does good work but they are kind of high.

Thanks guys for the help! I'm thinking I have a rod knocking. The car sounds like a beast though. It was wrecked when I got it so I've been fixing the body up on it and all that. I've yet to even drive it. I was going to just get another engine from a 96 and put in my 94 TA. But I read the shafts in the 4l60e's vary from 94-95 and 96-97.

Well, that's what I thought. But i did a quick google search and came across that misleading information on another f body site. Thanks for chiming in. So would you guys suggest on just getting it rebuilt to know everything is good or buy a used lt1 with around 110k miles for cheap?

In the Louisville area I have heard from many people that Knieriem Racing Engines over off Preston and Blue Lick....aka Harry's Auto Parts is a good shop as well as Auburndale Machine shop on Southside drive. I have used them a few times as well.
I have a 4-bolt main block that I want to build a 396 with eventually and will be taking my block and assembly to one of the above whenever the time comes.
