ldk piston/rod change help

So I picked up a brand new LDK with 6758 turbo from ZZP. I want to change the pistons and rods to forged. I have all the parts to complete the swap. I thought I would be able to take this on but I am going through a major home renovation and in reality I am just not able to take this project on anytime soon. Especially since it involves my garage area. Can anyone recommend me a reputable builder that would be able to do this? I am in the North eastern PA area. The motor is still on the pallet so transport wouldn't be a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again and happy new year.

Thanks. What happened to him? I did have big plans but took a step back and looked at my garage and the condition it is in with construction material all over and renovations going on above the garage and said who am I kidding. I can’t open an engine with this going on. Where in VA are u? I Was stationed in Ft Belvoir south of Alexandria when I returned home from Afghanistan. That was about 3hr ride.

IIRC Jeff was in an accident and is from Pittsburgh area. he told me he was no longer building engines due to the fact that 2 of his "built" engines blew up. Makes sense. Doesn't sound that bad, would be a nice weekend project for me. Wish I was closer!
