Default need a shop for engine rebuild VERY SOON

Im getting a complete short block for my f20c. Im looking for a very good shop near by. Not too far cause the engine knocks. Right now i have it set up with Pro alignment which does good engine rebuild from what ive heard.However, Im looking for some one im more comfortable fixing my car and that wont try to snake me for every penny they can. It seems like thats what this shop is doing. I have until Saturday when the new block gets delivered so i need a response soon. Thanks.

This isnt exactly a response, but are you getting anything done to the engine or just having the block swapped?

I'd buy that it's expensive for a stroker(you need EMS in addition to the kit/labor), but I'd hesitate calling it unreliable without proof.

hey skip...I think ill be goin with MR2 2NER in newport news or accuracy automotive in chesapeake. Both seem to be very reliable. Just gotta choose one. Ill notify Jeff when im a 100% on where you should deliver the block. You think you can hook up military member with a better price on that short block?

If you were in the military, but you're not... you're in the Air Force.
