Default Where would you get a KA rebuilt?

I searched around, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places, I know for sure I've seen threads before.

Anyway, I need to get a DOHC rebuilt before I swap out my SOHC, which I'm also gonna need to have done because as much as I'd love to do it I don't have the time or tools to do it.

I eventually plan to boost it, but nothing crazy, very conservative, so I don't need forged internals or anything. Basically just looking for a reputable shop.

Let me know, thanks.

Talk to Art, at RC customs. He has rebuilt quite a few KA's and can get you a good price.
You can PM him on here, his SN is Art, or call the shop. 727-432-3292

Anything on the Pinellas side? I'd rather not have to cross the pond, but if that's what it takes I will.

I've also heard Engine Lab of Tampa, but also heard they can be pricey. I'm not affraid to pay for good work, but cheaper is always better.

you'll get more than just good work at XAT, but Ph34r seems to know of one in around your area that your looking for.

Thanks for the replies. And thanks to all the guys that are offering to help me out, but I'm really looking for a shop that can offer some kind of warranty on the rebuild. This is my DD that makes about 80000 trips between Gainesville and Clearwater (I'm suprised my SOHC has held up this long haha). I really need something I can count on. Obvoiusly I understand the business so don't think I'm expecting any Hyundai warranty or anything haha.
