Default need shop recommendations for ls swap into 68 camaro

I have a 68 camaro that I would like to swap a late model vette motor into. The car is currently a fast burn 385 crate motor and 700r4 with 200 miles on rebuild. I just would like to go in a different direction. I am at the point in my life that I would like it done right by somebody smarter than me. Who is the best swap shop in the southeast US?

my other option is to put about $10k with mine (mine is probably worth about 25k) and trading for a late model zo6. All toy prices including late model vettes are in the tank. So the time is right to buy. What do you guys think?

It would be hard to beat Detroit Speed in Mooresville, NC. They do excellent work and you could get your suspension done at the same time.
