Default Engine builder in eastern pa

looking for a good, nut not over priced engine builder in eastern pa around philly. I'm looking at buy a 95 T/A WS6. It has about 100k miles on it. Im thinking about buying it and then having the engine rebuilt prob 355, not lookin to spend a butt load of money on a 383. Just pretty much refreshen the block, bore it out and such. My goals for the car is pretty much lt's, slp loudmouth, ported stock heads or poss lt4, msd opti and ewp. not looking to make a huge amount of power, just something to have fun with. after engine it will get some brake/suspension/wheel upgrades. Thanks for your opinions guys.

Are you looking for just the machine shop or the shop to do the work also? I can help you out with both if you are interested.
