I've found that the best bet is to find a good shop and send it there. ACE, MoFoCo, and a variety of others have good reputations, a,d the amount you spend in shipping will be far less than the cost of fixing the botch done by a local shop that doesn't actually know what they're doing.

http://www.aircooledengineering.com/ reground my crankshaft, I can't speak highly enough of them.
http://www.mofoco.com/ did my connecting rods.
http://www.qualitygermanautoparts.com/ sold me my case after the previous one that I'd hoped to use didn't work.
