LNF/LSJ Engine builder

Well, looks like I'm probably going to build the bitch up. Was wondering if anyone knew reputable shops that have had some experience in the LNF/LSJ Ecotec field. Socal LA area location. Will need to install cams/valves/fuel lobe/ pistons/ rods etc. All the good stuff.

Apparently they don't do that stuff right now with our motors. They said they need to plan it out and sort it out and it will take a while etc. LOL They said they're too busy with honda and acura right now. So I guess I have to find another shop..

I have a guy who has a shop in Whittier who does builds, he mostly works on Honda/Acura but he only does performance builds on them. I can ask him if he would do it

Wanna ask if he would build the motor by taking out the head and dropping the oil pan. I wanna install cams/valve springs, larger fuel pump lobe, pistons and rods.
