Default Engine Builders in MA?

I have been thinking more and more about installing a LSX engine in my '66 GTO. Ideally I would like to find a LS2 or a 6.0 out of a truck, maybe install some L76/L72(not sure what it is exactly) heads that GM PP sells, a decent cam, etc. NOthing super radical. What would I be looking at for something like that price wise?

I was afraid to ask since I know you're usually pretty busy. You were the first person I did think of though.

Yea, I was thinking of 400+ CI. The big port heads/inake. A cam that won't rattle my fillings out either. Nothing radical. But as this project moves forward, I'll keep you in the loop.
