I've heard lots of good things about Jesse Miller machine shop in West Chester. Not to far from you.

Jesse Miller is pretty good but he turned me down for a build I wanted to do, and I hear he is picky on what he works on. But I suggest you go to Ruhl's machine shop in Mount Joy. PM me if you want there info

I know it's not close by any means, but in morris county NJ there is a small shop Edwin's Automotive in Parsippany that has done a lot of the DSM rebuilds for the big guys in NJ and is reasonably priced. He's actually doing mine right now.

I gave the shop a 6 bolt block with rods/pistons, crank, and main caps. They are decking, honing, hot tanking, reconditioning the rods. I'm giving them new pistons/rings/bearings to install. They are dissasembling, doing the block work, then reassembling for around $1,200 in labor. Parts were like $350. Slowboy sells OEM pistons in a set of 4 with rings and wrist pins for a good price. ExtremePSI has good prices on bearings. PM me if you need more info...I may not always catch this thread.
