engine builder in houston?

What shop would you guys recommend to assemble a short block for you? I will have all of the necessary parts (crank, rods, bearings, rings, block, bolts, etc.). I just need someone I can trust to do the machine work (clean up bore, check block and crank) and assemble the bottom end properly so that I have no reservations about beating the crap out of it once its running again. Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks

The one LME motor I have delt with is a POS. Considering we have delt with 10+ of HKE's motors and we have had zero problems...I'm gonna have to go with HKE.
