You could call Fast Track Performance there in Louisville and see who they would recommend. I don't know if they do machine work firsthand, but usually performance shops like them have a person or two of interest they use.

i took my 5.3 to ls spec like you are talking about i did the bore in 2 steps to allow proper cooling time and not to warp the hole
when i set it up for finish bore it did taper a little bit but still in spec to straighten out during the 4 step of finish bore
someone else i know took the whole bore in 1 stroke and found out the hard way as to how these units do warp
just my 2 cents...........
i did all my own work on the machineing process
I've never machined, thats a pretty handy trade to know though wish i could! I'm kinda just goin of my engineering intuition, I like to hear it validated in real world application...cool
