Engine Rebuilder Recommendations

[Riviera63]

I am trying to help out a friend. He has a 1971 Skylark GS with a 455 that is in need of a rebuild. Could any of you out there give me a recommendation for a reputable engine rebuilder. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Please PM me with any information you might have. Thanks.

Thank you for that. Have you used them or know of anyone that has used their services?

I have not used them personally, however, they have been around for awhile.  You can try checking over at the V8 Buick forum; someone over there likely has firsthand experience.

As Emtee said, check v8buick.  Trishield and Jim (the owner) are very well respected in the Buick community.  Jim also owns the v8buick forum.
