Default good engine rebuild shop in az

Like the titles states, does anyone know of a good engine rebuild shop in or around phoenix az. I didn't get any interest from anyone on selling my car so i have decided to keep it and get the motor rebuilt since im gonna be coming into some money in a month or so. I just want a stock rebuild nothing crazy i just plan on doing bolt ons since its my daily driver. Thanks everyone I hope someone can give me a good place to go and also hoping it wont cost an arm and a leg

but if you have a truck or something you could drive out to CMS in SoCal and pick it up when it's done... that's what I do

I'm sure a lot of those shops are familiar with the LT1's as well... I drove down to AZ Automasters and they seemed very knowledgeable and all they seem to handle is LSx/LT1 cars...

Go with AZ Automasters. They may not be the cheapest but they will do it right. Ask for Mike, he is the owner.

I used Allie's Automotive in Mesa. I opted not to get my LT1 rebuild, but they installed a new timing chain, water pump, all new seals and gsskets and new motor mounts. I feel the difference when I step on the pedal. Very happy with the results.
