Default Need A Machine Shop In South Florida!!!

Hey Guys,
I'm in the process of building a C5 based kit. That said, I popped off the maiifold of my LS1 and found some rust on the intake valves and some on the cylinder walls. I need to have the block and parts inspected and hopefully the cylinders bored to get this thing rolling.

So,,, any machine shops local in South FL. that really know LS1's????

Thanks!
Fred

Do you mean South Florida like Miami or South Florida like Tampa. Is that a Factory Five GT car?
