Default Good machine shop in the Albany area?

I have all my parts to start putting my engine together, but I want to have the machine work done at a shop that has a lot of experience and a good record for LS engines. Does anyone know of some within 100 miles of Albany New York 12205?

Work I need done are machine block for pistons, deck block if needed, line hone mains with studs, clean, install cam bearings, balance rotating assembly, check for proper clearances that I spec and order correct bearings.

I put a post over there too. I wasn't sure where I would get the best response, so I posted in a couple of forums.

I will assemble it myself but I need someone who can do all the machine work and has all the proper tools.

I will run the car on a dyno after it's all sorted out. I have a base tune already that should be fairly close. I will let the Holley system get the tune closer and then take it to get some numbers. Does Tony have a chassis dyno also? Where about in Balston Spa is his shop?
