Default Best engine building shop in the Metro Detroit area?

Alright I am about to rebuild my LS6 motor (unless I find a great deal on a LQ9/LS2) to a 383 stroker.

So I am looking for an AFFORDABLE good, experienced shop to get my motor build at. Where should I go, I would be willing to travel a couple hours if it was worth it.

Thanks in advance.

Lingenfelter, Livernois and Stenod to name a few. My personal preference would be Stenod.

We have our own line of rotating assemblies, short blocks, and longblocks.

Besides building engines for all of our in-house builds, we also have shops all over the world that use our engines for their builds.

Many shops like to brand them as their own, however one that comes to mind that advertises our engine is IPS Motorsports and their IRS-Record Z06.
