Recommended shops for engine rebuild

I have a spare n55 engine with under 35k lying around. Would like to rebuild it and use it in the future, does anyone have a local shop they can recommend that specializes in rebuilds?

Is there anything wrong with the engine? With that low of mileage, if there is nothing wrong you would be better off installing it in the car with 35k than risking someone having it all apart.

It won't crank and I don't have a confirmed reason why. We do believe the injectors flooded the head. I am hoping to rebuild and put it in a high mile 6mt as a project.

I don't think Alvin will do it, my current mechanic use to work for him for multiple years. I could be wrong tho since I didn't actually ask.

Time vs cost, I'd probably sell it and find a spare N55 with low mileage that already runs. Let someone else do the rebuild on their time/dime. The motors are so common and cheap enough. Unless you want a race build or something...
