Default Internal engine repair

I have a 1989 Corvette that may have a spun rod bearing. I'm looking for recommendations for someone reputable that would do that kind of work. Located in eastern Ohio, about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh, PA. Thank you in advance.

First, it is just a small bock chevy. Second you need to decide if you will rebuild your engine or buy a shortblock online. If you can do the assembly it would be fine to rebuild yours. If you need to hire someone local to rebuild it then it may be better to buy a shortblock. Dan
