Default LT1 work needed

I'm looking for someone in the SA or surrounding areas to work on my LT1 Camaro SS, it has some valvetrain noise along with a small misfire, and of course my rear main just went out after putting the car together. Really just need someone that can do everything at once if possible. I've been turned down by local San Antonio performance shops since they do not work on LT1s anymore. Any help is appreciated, I can't seem to find someone willing to take on the LT1.

-Jeremy

Step one: remove LT1

Step two: install 5.3,5.7,6.0,6.2 in whatever variation you desire.

Option two requires gas and matches.

Good luck to you sir!
