Default Any Fbody shops in NH

I currently just moved to Porstmouth, NH from Virginia. Im looking for a shop that could rebuild my engine. I have a 98 Camaro SS the motor has around 45,XXX miles. I have 5.3 heads, torquer v2, pacesetter headers. While driving on the interstate from NC to VA my wife noticed black smoke coming from the tail pipe. The car was running pretty crappy on the way there. Once got to VA i popped the hood and there was white smoke coming from the engine bay. I shut the car off. I can hear the rockers hitting the valve cover on the driver side really bad. I had to put the car on a car trailer to move to NH and the car barely made it up the ramp for the trailer. Any help will be appreciated I am about to get underway with the military in 2 weeks. I dont wont to leave my car stranded with my wife and have her deal with it

Slowhawk is probably the closest guy to you if you want to go with one of the board's sponsor's.

Slowhawk is the closest sponsor and you won't find a better lsx builder/tuner in the area.

Slowhawk. I won't let anyone but Don touch my car. Can't find a more honest mechanic either. His reputation is the best.
