Default Need conversion shop recomendation

I’m looking for a Corvette specialist to remove the 350/350hp motor and 4-speed transmission from my 69 Vette and replace it with a new engine and transmission (maybe like a 427 with a new 6 speed transmission.) I always thought I would make the switch myself but I now realize its better to pay a pro to make the switch. Looking to drop off the car and come get it when the conversion is complete.

Looking for a recommendation of a reputable shop that has done and can do the conversion?

Thanks!
Norm

wouldn't we have to know at least what state you live in to answer the question?

Norm, it would really help if we knew where you were! On the off chance you're in Florida, check out Vanquish Motorsports on Marco Island, they'll build what you want!
