Default Engine Rebuild/Machine Shop needed in Wisconsin area (preferred)

Looking to rebuild my ram air III motor over the winter and would like to find a respectable shop. Any thoughts or ideas feel free to let me know.
Thanks for looking and for any and all help.

Talk to MARK at Luhn Performance.
He lives in Wisconsin, has had several engines built for dyno testing, and knows
people who know how to machine Pontiac engines properly.

Another contact would be Dick B (The Tri-Power Carb Expert) who lives in Wisconsin and who has had several Pontiac engines built over the years for his 64 GTOs.

Where about are you in WI? I'd have a suggestions around Antigo as well as one toward Milwaukee. PM me if you like.

I used Wayne Shicantek for my ‘71 GTO. He’s out of Waukesha. He’s done a few PY members engines. He is a Pontiac guy himself.

I forgot about Wayne Shicantek. Yes, he's a good Pontiac guy.

Wayne just got done with my 498 pump gas motor, Excellence attention to detail on all his builds.

Thanks for all the input!
I'll be getting this done either way this winter. The 428 is very tired and the ram air III needs a home. Thanks for all the leads and hope to review thoughts and options soon.
Cheers
