LME. I've had several engines and rebuilds from them. I would say Texas Speed next. Both of these are engine builders not really shops. They probably would require you to bring just the engine in. LMR in Houston is an actual shop but they stay pretty busy.

Newb here. Any link for LMR? Thank you in advance.
Gwatney Performance in Jacksonville, Arkansas might be fairly close and worth calling for a rebuild or new engine. They seem to have a good LS/LT reputation.
Not sure if they only build and tune or also do install.
Well let me catch you guys up
my dad passed down to me a 2001 GMMG Black bird
transam WS6 it’s number 5 of 50
he put a heads cam intake and throttle body and a set of hooker headers..fast forward 2/3 years ago it had very low oil pressure and it had metal in the oil..
so it sat for over 2 years in my driveway come present day it’s over at 727 motorsports in Paragould Arkansas
5 rod bearings was spun and the crankshaft was damaged so I’m now making it a 383 Stroker with a fully forged BTR Rods and pistons BTR Red hot cam
and if my heads are good I’m going to keep them if not I’m going with the ARP 243’s
CHECK OUT 727 MOTORSPORTS ON TIKTOCK TO SEE THE BUILD

Good to see someone modding their car how they want, even if rare let the purists hate. Enjoy the new set up and post up the results.

You could send the heads to Texas speed for a port and polish. They can assemble the valvetrain and skim the deck for flatness. Best bang for buck imo. Stroker need air though, you could benefit from a set of AFRs paired with a midlength runner manifold for sure.
