Shop to do LT1 swap in PNW?

I'm getting ready to take the LT1 and 4L60E out of my daily driven '95 Z28, have them rebuilt, and then swapped into my beloved '85 T/A. I've already got a machine shop that's gonna build the engine but I need a shop in the PNW that's willing to take on the task of installing everything and doing the wiring. I have neither the time or space to do this myself. Anyone know any good shops in the Portland area that might be up to it? I've talked to a couple places and they were hesitant to take on this project.

Slacker, its been a while, how have you been?

You can always talk to Steve at McGee's, I am sure his work is not cheap, but I bet they would take on the project.

McGee's is probably who I'll end up going to cuz I trust them and know they have a passion for performance. Cost is less important to me than the job being done right. Once it's all done I'll be ready to emberass a few of you on the dyno. Built LT1 + '85 T/A= mucho fun!

I've been good. Going to school to be a pharmacy tech. It takes up most of my time so I haven't been working on the T/A. Sold my '72 Chevy pickup. I didn't want to but I needed the money to go to school. Was checking out the crew's boards the other day. I think I'll be involved a little more in a couple months when I finish school.

The crew board is where it is at, there is a lot going on there, this board is pretty dead. You should post up over there, say hi to everyone, and ask your question. Someone else may have a shot they know.
