Recommendation for engine builder in NJ

I'm new to this board and I've already gotten some good ideas just reading some of the posts here. Now I have a question. I am trying to have my '87 Vette TPI stroked to 383. Unfortunately I don't have the time or skill to do it myself. Does anybody have any recommendations for a builder in New Jersey. I won't be juiced or blown so I'm looking for a moderately priced turnkey solution.
Thanks in advance.

Well there is http://www.grotyohannmotorsports.com/index.htm but he is expensive, or you can try one of the sponsor at the top of the page.

Thanks for the reply James. It seems like their product is impressive, but the pricing is too high for me. Thanks for the link. I'd never heard of them before.

I met Julio at Englishtown and asked him for a quote. After multiple phone calls following up, I never heard back from them. It's a shame because I hear they do great work.

I beleive Pat Musi pretty much does the engine build ups for Cartek, I know they built the sb for their vette located on the site.

If you must deal with Musi, be aggressive and know what you want! I would not recommend Musi to an amateur car enthusiast.

If I had the money I'd go with Musi.....I mean come on who hasn't seen him race?
Too bad I don't have the money to have mine built, but building it myself will give me some pride if it starts when I'm done.

Good luck with your project. I wish I had the time and the skill to do it myself.
