Found a local shop, referred by the Machine Shop that did the work on my 5.3. $975 for the rebuild, with rebuilt converter and shift kit. Although he didn't recommend the HD Shift kit, but a more mild kit. Pretty satisfied with what I found, and they seem to be a trust worthy shop. I've known my machine guy for a while. So Basically I will have $1175 in this trans after rebuild (with warranty), pretty happy with that!!
Thanks again for the help, dudes!
