Default Reputable engine builder in NE Pennsylvania

Just like the title says, I want to have my engine rebuilt this Winter, however I do not know of anyone who does LS based engines.
I'm located in Schuylkill County, PA

And, go!

Do a search on this forum or BBB on builders before buying.

My engine builder is a machinist as well, so he does everything in house. Make sure you ask those questions from people you talk to because that's not something everyone tells you. Sure, they might assemble it, but they might not do the machine work, so that gets' sub'd out to someone else.

It might not sound like a big deal, but I know during assembly, my engine builder wasn't 100% satisfied with some things, so he took apart the motor and re-polished some journals etc. It's the difference between an engine assembler and an engine builder in my book.

When you take those tours, ask to see their machine work areas as well as the assembly areas.
