Default Good Mechanic around Dayton Ohio

Looking for a good mechanic around or close to dayton ohio within 1hr or so. I have a z71 silverado with a 5.3 and would like to replace it with a pull out LQ9 with a good cam and tune. Planning on doing the switch in the summer when it warms up.

4skin I just stopped by quick rev today and Jim showed me the video of the caddy today(99 sts with custom turbo built one of akind). If you should stop by ask Jim if you could see the video,it was awsome!! It puts down 440 to the wheels.To see a car that weighs 4000 pounds go that fast is just mind numbing.You got to see it

4skin Ijust picked up my car last wk i had Jim put in a tci verter in (alot cheaper than a yank)its made a big difference in the car.I did not do the camcause I may go with a procharger D-1. Jim has a friend who is going to try to find a good used one if its cheap just missing tubing Jim can customize it would be alot cheaper than brand new i just have to be patient to find one at the right price,if not Iwil get cam and maybe heads I dont know yet money is tight right now just bought ahouse.
