Looking for a reputable engine rebuilder in Atlanta, GA area

I've been thinking it's time to get started on one of my 67 3000s and will need to get the engine rebuilt. Looking for a quality shop in the Atlanta area to perform a stock rebuild. Engine is already out of the car. Would probably have the shop perform the disassembly and assembly too. Is this best left to a British car specialist, or can any competent 302 Ford/350 Chevy shop handle it as long as quality components are used?

Any shop suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert

Jim says this one won Best Restored Engine at its first show:

I have a 1967 BJ8. Tom Jenkins,678-522-4561, has a shop in Woodstock. He completely rebuilt my engine last year. He knows Healeys and has helped me resolve issues that I could not do myself. I highly recommend him to do anything needed on Healeys or any other car. I would at least talk to him before you decide who to use.

Hey Robert,
One more fellow you can speak to about it is Neil Estes who has Neil's Restorations in Decatur. I used him for engine work on a 1949 MG TC as well as various things on a 1959 BT7. Neil is a great guy and works only on LBC's.
Regards,
Mike
