Mopar engine rebuilders in Florida?

[Nickrc3]

Gentlemen,
                 I'm interesting in sending out my 440 engine to a Mopar-friendly machine shop somewhere within the State of Florida. It appears nothing is available in South Florida.
Can anyone provide their personal experiences and/or recommendation of any reputable engine rebuilders? I do know of Dvorak Machining in Waldo.



This hulk hasn't run since 85', however, I did go through everything a year prior with balancing, crank regrinding and extensive work (bigger valves, port enlarging, polishing, cc's, etc.) to the 67' - '914' heads (via the famed Russ' Automotive in Hollywood). No re-boring of cylinders was performed, so stock pistons remain.

This time around, my goal is 450-480hp from a docile, pump-gas, street engine. I'm thinking of the 440 Source stroker kit with their Stealth heads, a mild cam-Voodoo or equivalent, FireCore ignition and the existing 6-pak induction system. I've got the 833 and Dana (410's) to back it up.

Thanks for your information, Fellows.

Call steward performance and talk to denny. He is in the daytona beach/port orange area and can steer you towards a good shop. He is a mopar guy and knows his stuff.

Give Chuck a call @ CJ's auto repair here in Pinellas County also. 727-545-1778 tell him Neal said to call. He builds and races also, very honest and dependable. (Literately 100's of big block builds over 30 years.)
