Default Engine installer in No. VA?

I'm in need of a reputable shop to install a crate LS6 in place of my original LS1. The guy that I was originally going to have install it doesn't seem to want to communicate schedules at all and my car has been down for almost 2 months now. TRANSPORTING the car there is a bit of an issue as well. I don't have a trailer, but I suppose if it came down to it, I would rent a U-Haul or something to get the car to wherever...

Thanks,

ADAM

I dont work for a shop, but used to. still have access to everything..... I can have it done in one day granted nothing majorly wrong happens, and prob around the 500$ ballpark ? maybe cheaper depending on how long it takes..... which 500 would be absolute max, but I dont see that happening....
