Northern Illinois engine builder

I'll have my motor out in the next week and am looking for an engine builder in the northern ill area; we live in Harvard so somewhere in the Rockford or Woodstock/Crystal Lake area would be great. Just looking to have crank ground, possibly new rods/pistons, and new heads installed. Any references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

No problem, I'm hoping I can drop mine off Friday! So I can start building my new setup. Goodluck and keep me posted on the results!

Well; have had some communication with AES but not as much as I would hope. I'm sure if they're that good they're real busy, and have a hard time returning emails right away. I hope to get an updated quote from them pretty soon...

I've had my pms replied to within a day or 2. I'm sure they don't have time to get on here on a daily basis so i would call them.
