For a better response, post this in the regional section. Otherwise just google "Houston area engine machine shop ls1tech" and that should pop up a few threads with your exact question.

research is your friend:

TSP is a sponsor on here. I'm sure they have contacts all over that state. I'm willing to bet they have a few good recommendations that won't steer you wrong. I'm also willing to bet those places buy from them. So there will be good standings between them.
