Good engine builder/machine shop near Illinoi

Looking for recommendations for a good place to have a BBC engine done within close driving distance of northern Illinois. Not looking to have a stock/super stock engine done, just quality work on a street-strip engine.

Call Al Robbins @ Freedom Racing Engines in Brownsburg IN
# 317-858-9938- Tell Him what you need and at least get some pricing.
This is a great shop and very honest and easy to deal with.

Not that far to Dayton, OH so why not have one of the best? Parsons and Myers (937)228-7278 is known for fast pieces at reasonable prices and they stand behind their work. I wouldn't cut corners just because it's "street/strip" in any case.

Thanks for the suggestions. Although I know that there are recommended engine shops elsewhere, I prefer not to have to ship it. Although my build isn't as serious as most, I want the best machine work and attention to details that I can find, although money is an issue... I know that the racers on this board would know who to go to.

Any other suggestions are welcome.
