Question Reputable LT1 Rebuilder in Fl

I've been thinking about having my engine rebuilt and possibly throwing in different stuff in the process(i.e. cam, heads, headers ect.). I was wondering if anyone knows of someone in Fl that knows their stuff about LT1s and can do this kind of work.

Thanks.

N20ta2, would you be interrested in helping with a v6? I have heads ported, but might want a nice polish job on em, a cam and a couple other small things. What would you charge? I have already done a cam in this car before and I was wondering if you were interrested in the work if i could help to do it. Basically I work slowly and would like some help to speed me up and I am willing to pay. Let me know what you think you would charge if you were interrested in the project. Thanks and let me know please,
My e-mail is dakota@usa.com
Thanks again,
Dakota

I like andersons, they usually wont even bore a block if its not going to get tourque plates for the hone on a performance application.Its in bradenton attached to a nappa,Its kind off a hole in the wall but they do pay attention to detail. Camaro- dakota if you want to send me the heads or drop them off i can polish them for you no problem.Email sprayta@hotmail.com
