I would trust myself more than the machine shops here... seriously. I figure that I can at least do the notching and borrow the tools to check all my part sizes. I will be starting with a new block so after I check it all out I can just get it cleaned and assemble it.
My buddy built a motor and spent hundreds of dollars that could have been saved with a little research and initiative. No one seems to know what they are doing here, and the ones that do seem to know don't do it every day. I just don't trust it.

I will also enjoy the learning curve... (HINT HINT, this is where you guys can give a newbie a few pointers on assembling an LS based bottom end) I helped build a SBC 400 once, but they just bought parts and threw them together without checking... They got lucky IMO. I will be more cautious.
On a sad, sad note, last night someone keyed the HELL out of my buddies 94 Camaro with a $4500 paint job on it. They got all the way through the paint all the way down the car. Best of all the paint was discontinued. It is horrible for me because I helped a lot with that car. If we find out who did it...
and then some 
and maybe even some
