LS engine builder in the Raleigh area?

[Blaze]

Or any of you guys even further out if you do good work. I need someone to assemble the engine for my Trans Am. My buddy who was going to build it is losing his shop space so he's not going to be able to build it. I trust myself to build stock stuff, but this is pretty far from stock.

All the machine work is done (by King's Machine in Burlington) and I have all the numbers and tolerances that they gave me. Cam bearings are installed by them, etc. I have all the parts needed, every single one.

LS2 block, Lunati forged stroker crank, Lunati forged H-beam rods, Wiseco forged pistons, rings, bearings, BTR Stage 3 camshaft, Heads have been totally reworked with bigger valves, CNC ported, FAST 92mm intake, everything.

I can pay but honestly I don't have that much left. I traded my buddy a bunch of parts to do the work and I dropped a TON of money on all the parts for this engine because of that. Almost $6-7k in parts.

I just want it done right and my car has been down for well over a year now. It is going in my 98 TA.

Please let me know, gotta be reputable on LS engines.

Boyettes?

Mostly want to see if there are any NC4x4 guys who can do the work. I'd like to support a guy on here or else I'd just take it back to King's to have them assemble it.

I remember at one point @scotch737 was an LS guru...but can't remember if he focused on swaps or builds...and I think he was Greensboro-ish area.

Last I know of, he went down south to Busted Knuckle Off Road. I haven't messaged him in a while.

RPM in Garner?

Well, ended up talking to King's and he's going to give me a good deal on it since they did all the block and machine work.

I've got an already assembled 402" ls2 with compstar crank, callies rods, wiseco pistons, arp bolts and such built for boost that's never been run if you're interested. I'm not sure I'll ever use it.

I appreciate it, but I already have everything for this engine. King's is taking care of me on the cost of assembling it.
