Default Competent LT5 mechanic (MS)

I'm planning on getting myself a c4 corvette in the near future. If I can find one for a good deal I'd like to get a ZR-1. Problem is I'm not a wrench guy; other than the basics like oil changes, filter changes, etc. I'm worthless.

So, basically I'm wondering if any of you veteran Vette owners might be to able to point me in the direction of a good mechanic who has the ability to work on an LT5. Preferably near Vicksburg/Jackson, MS.

I can't help you out on the LT5 but I have 125k on my LT4 and love it. Had only a leak on water pump, A/C vent line loose (easily fixed) , and a clutch pivot ball came loose. LT4 puts out same power as a base '03 Z06 if you install HOT cam and long tube headers. Of course, a lot easier to find parts and repair if needed. Just a thought...

South Georgia Corvettes in Thomasville, GA is an LT5 specialist. Thomasville is "almost" Alabama.
