Reputable machine shops-Ohio

I'm new to the LS based engines and need a good machine shop that knows these motors in the Cleve/Akron area. I'm looking to have my 5.3 block bored up to 3.898, and i want it done right.I know the block needs a bore, but figured i should just take it to 346 while i'm at it.

I plan on building a 408 on the side later with a TSP stroker kit, but looking to get this thing together somewaht quickly, lot's to do, paint, chassis, custom headers, etc.

With an iron block just about anyone should be able to do it. Just get the pistons before hand and bring them with you. Let them know how much clearance you want to run.

I figured some shops would be more "familiar" with the LS blocks, my normal machinist that did my GEN 1 small and BBC hasn't worked with them.

I used to use Kammer & Kammer (Huber Heights) when I lived in Dayton. They mostly do Mopar stuff, but always did well by me. I know the Ohio Boys have used them a few times as well.
