Any budget LSx builders out there?
I originally contacted Randy at yatesefi, but apparently he's too busy right now to take on new work.
I'm in Korea, and my friend wants to do a V8 swap into his Saturn Sky (rebadged as Daewoo G2X in Korea).
We have someone to do the actual swap and manufacture the swap kit parts like mounts, brackets, etc.
Regarding the engine, we originally wanted to go with just an LS3 with T56, but LS3s cost a pretty penny, and not knowing the condition of the engine before purchase, we're looking at someone who can build a 5.3 for us.
The reason for this is, since we're in Korea, if we need a part during the build, it's going to take weeks to import, etc., so I'd rather just have someone build a motor and ship it to us.
We're looking at around 350 RWHP, so probably just intake, heads, and mid-sized cams will do.
Any suggestions on how to go about doing this?

My basic question for the post was, is there anyone out there who can convert a 5.3 to a swap engine for a Saturn Sky, so basically change out all the stuff listed above, and possibly put in a cam and tune, and then just ship us the engine.
If someone is interested, please email or PM me. If this goes right, we probably will be able to do more in the future with the same setup.
