Shop in Orlando

I've tried searching and found some threads that weren't exactly what I wanted so I'm posting.
I'm looking for a shop in Orlando that has the ability to rebuild my LS1. The car has an oil pressure problem which has caused the main bearings to wear. I am more concerned with someone that will do the job right and get it fixed than finding the cheapest shop. I would very much like a single shop that has the capability to take the engine out, tear it down, build it back up, then re-install it.
This would include replacing the main bearings, rod bearings, preferably cam bearings, and discovering what is causing the oil pressure problem. I would like to re-use the current internals. Engine has a fully forged bottom end with a rear mount turbo setup.
I was thinking maybe a place like Central Florida Turbo (CFT). Do you all have any experience with them, or another place that would be able to do it?

A shop that specializes in LSX stuff is TEC (Total Engine Concepts). They are right next to Mosler, the custom kit car company. TEC actually builds a lot of their engines. Here are some websites. Their prices are EXTREMELY reasonable and are located in Riviera Beach.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I don't think I can go more than 30 miles or so without a huge towing bill. Once the car warms up the oil pressure doesn't exceed about 20psi, so I can't drive it far without risking serious internal damage. I will have to check out Central Florida Machine.
