Default machine shop recommendations in CT

Have a GM 181 cid inline 4 boat motor I need some work done to.

specifically cylinder boring 010 or 020 over, align honing the mains, crank turning, and balancing the rotating assembly.

can anyone recommend some places in the Ct area?
NY would work too if it's just over the line.

thanks.
