Default Looking for engine builder in Michigan

Does anyone here know of anyone in the Lansing Mi, area that has a reputable shop in which I can have an engine built. I am willing to travel some distance to have done but would like to stay somewhat close to home.

I have dealt with C-Tech Performance in Wyoming, MI (Grand Rapids area) and was always happy with his work. He rebuilt the 389 Tri-Power engine in the '64 GTO that I had, and the 327/340 HP original engine in the '63 SWC that I had a few years ago. Last thing he did for me was some headwork on a 396 Chevelle I had.
Call 616-534-6946 and ask for Arnie. Probably just over an hour away from you.
