4l60e rebuilders?
???wtf mr simmons....dan asks a ? And i respond and "you" have a problem with my answer regarding using a local shop vs shipping?
Yeah "my" opinion is i would use a local shop after vetting them vs shipping unless there was none within a hundred miles of me. Dan (op) lives in atlanta so i would think there is a good shop near him. If not than no problem you or me or anyone else suggesting a place (which i did only by owners name) where shipping is involved. I mention a guys name who has a good rep on another forum but didn't mention his shop by name as mr moderator gets his panties in a wad if anyone mentions "non sponsor" services. Dan likely knew who i was referring to.
Fwiw my heads were done "locally", i have purchased valve train stuff from lloyd. Yes i bought a shortblock from golen vs having a local shop source a donor block and build it. Chad has, imho, more experience with the gen 2 lt1 than any shop i have used here in so cal. I know how to build sbc and felt fine having it built out of state and completing the assembly of the long block myself. Building transmissions is not in my wheelhouse so i use local vs shipping
in any event don't want to get into any pissing contest with you or anyone else...not sure why you feel you need to pick out on what someone's else's opinion is. You been on this forum awhile and post frequently and can offer some good advice but dude back off...
Fortunately dan has been around the block with these lt1 cars and can read through any nonsense and form his own opinion based on any responses made to his ?. No need to whine about what others reply to if it isn't the shop "you" prefer...just answer the op's ? And let others reply with their opinions

You remind me of Caprice Mgr who used to be on this forum...
Dan lives in Tucker GA. Not seeing any of the suggested sources in GA other than RPM has "installers" in Ball Grand or Cummings GA.
I think Shane is Performance and if so I have read several post about that shops excellent reviews. I suspect since that post says he has a B body that is his shop
I always prefer to go local on auto repairs I don't do myself unless I feel "out of state" sources are better. Golen, for example, for my short block
No drama on my end Sir...its all you. You seem to be the opinion troll about anyone's post suggesting anything different than your opinion

OP,
If you really want to dig into this for the most piece of mind, get references from shops listed here as well as local shops around you. Ask around at your local drag strip.
Good dude who gave sound advice. I'll take that as a complement.

i always recommend Frank Cahall. he has proven 4L60Es out there. i never got to own one myself but i have very good experience with them. first hand.
however, unfortunately, he passed away yesterday. his wife will keep the company going and use his recipes to keep pumping them out.

yep they sure are if you’re an idiot and don’t know how to build it.
and in response to your above post about who let the ls1 guys in here. I’d like to ask who let the aholes up in here.

I hate to hear that.

And damn......I guess giving a guy viable options is a 'NO' if those options aren't sponsors. I guess a sponsor got all ***-hurt over my recommendations and had my post deleted.
Dan...…..PM me if you still need those options. They all are outside of the Atlanta area, though....
