Default LT1 engine shops
Hey guys does anyone know of shops around Northern IL (near Gurnee) that rebuild LT1 motors? I am willing to drive a little so it doesn't have to be exactly in northern IL.

I had two LT1 short blocks done by Performance Engine & Machine in Middleton, WI. They have quite a bit of experience with LT1's but might be a pretty good hike from your location.
