Default Blown engine -- help finding shop near Philadelphia

I blew the engine after installing an oil accumulator (ironic) due to a faulty oil return hose that developed a kink, leading to oil starvation. That's my theory at least.

Sounded like the issue was lower end, metal rattling around, my guess is a rod bearing that slipped but who knows.

I want to pull the engine and send it out to a shop to do a stroker crank, cam, pistons, and maybe an LS6 head if I can find one (+ any other suggestions).

Any suggestions for a shop within a few hours of Philadelphia?

Thanks as always

I'd suggest East Cast Supercharging in Cream Ridge NJ. Dour Ring - the owner does spend a little time on the forum, so he may see this, but I'd suggest going to see them, and discussing what your looking t have done...
