Recommendations for machine shop / engine builder / head porting work in Socal

Picked up a 6.0 lq4 and a pair of 243 heads for it. Both need rebuild and improvement. Looking for recommendations for head porting or simple clean up, bowl blending work, as well as a good machine shop (not a race shop) for a lq4 rebuild for a daily driver SUV / Truck. Anyone local, good & reasonable in Orange County, Riverside County, or L.A area? Thanks in advance.

I took my 243 heads to WCCH and was very pleased with their work.

Thank you. WCCH in Van Nuys, CA? What did it run to have them done and what all did you have done to them?

Port and polish, I brought them cores and exchanged them for assembled heads I believe. This was a while back but I am eager to get another set of heads soon.
