Default Need LS conversion help in Nth Florida

Looking for a reputable shop in the Tallahassee/North Florida area to help me finish up my 5.3 swap.
Everything is in place , just need help finishing up the wiring and cranking for the first time. Engine is in a 89 jeep, full frame off build no expense spared.
Work/day job has overwhelmed me and jeep project been touched in 6 months and I want to get this finished up before spring.

Any recommendations welcome.

Can you haul it? There's a guy in Mary Esther (Ft Walton Beach) that might want to do it...

I can trailer it over , I also don't mind ordering a harness from painless if necessary to get the project done. Pics of the project can be found on the jeep forum as "89 yj 5.3 vortec swap" to get an idea of what he might be in for.

They work on everything. There are 2 big block Chevelles in there, a 1968 Shelby GT500, An S65 AMG Mercedes, Lightnings, Trailblazer SS, Mustangs. A fair bit of cool **** in storage there. Ryan one of the employees has a1999 I think White Turbo Trans Am. He is on here as Tally TransAm
