Default Looking for a engine shop near northern NJ

Hi all, jumping back into my 68 goat that has been on the back burner. Looking for a engine shop in Jersey or tri state area to build my 455 I'm dropping in her. Would like to keep it close and also use a reputable shop who is familiar with Pontiac builds. Looking to run pump gas and make some noise around town.

I have a 455 out of a 70 Bonneville HO that I'm planning on using but I'm open to other suggestions.

Could also try Hansen Racing in Middlesex, NJ. (732) 748-9770. Not sure if Larry is social distancing right now, I haven't been by there in a few years. : )

Pickett's Auto in Darby, PA (just outside Philadelphia).. Built my 421 to 430+ hp, which runs on pump gas.
If you watch much Pontiac racing you've likely seen their "Runnin' Injun" cars at work.

Surprised nobody mentioned Richie Hoffman, I've never met him personally but he has a great reputation and posts on here. Somewhere in NY, Staten Island or NYC I think

I just had Bill Ceralli in Paterson rebuild my original 400 out of my 68 GTO. He’s a great guy and does a lot of Pontiacs. Bored it and stroked it to a 461 with a hydraulic roller cam. Dynoed at 455 hp and 540 ft#s of torque and it is a street engine.
