Default Miami area engine builders

I've already searched and saw that norris and masports are the recommended guys for LS series engines in the Miami area. Just checking and seeing if there is anyone else that you've had experience with. I haven't contacted them yet to see if these guys might be a little out of my budget build. I am looking to make sure my lq9 shortblock is in good health, add a LS6 cam, rockers and some west coast stage 1 317 heads and call it a day. It will be going in a 73 Camaro. I might be interested in someone that can do the install as I seem to be traveling more for work these days. Hook a fella up with your recommendation!

I have used and recommend Mesa Balancing in Hialeah. I have used and DO NOT recommend Russ Racing Engines in Hollywood.

Unlike GNXClone,,,, my experience with MESA was bad. 4+ months to do a shortblock and $1900 for labor. What a PITA!
