call john bizal. he might have a guy that could help. he helped me with a boat project that involved his talents + a local machinist. if its just bolting in a v8 using a helitool kit, your local good guy / old time mechanic can handle it no problem. after doing one myself, the best way to proceed would be to source all of the parts, assemble engine / trans outside of engine, then disassemble just enough to drop it into frame. i used a 360 which required sourcing a hard to find flywheel. once i had it all in hand and prepared the frame, it was 100% bolt in.
