IMO Building that caliber of a car/engine...I wouldn't let engine builder location be the deciding factor on who sets it up. Plenty of guys on the East Coast to build a proper engine. Todd Marsh is down your way. Hensley's in Tn, Muscle Motors does great work. Darren Tedder aka DTHemi is in Georgia IIRC.
