Default Engine Builder in Philly Area
Does anyone know a good engine builder in the Philly area? I have a 383 shortblock (lt1) I am looking to have gone over, slugs switched out for a forged set, and possibly a cam installed. I would also like to get my heads flowed. Any recomendations? Would possibly be interested in finally assembly as well.

Give Andy Jensen a call he's not in Philly but about 2 1\2 hours north. We just did a 446 or 447 I can't remember for a guy to put in his vette and it ran awesome 10. something on motor. He is probably one of the cheapest around and he has an increadable rep.
