Question Engine Builder(s) in SoCal

Hi, I need to get my 389 rebuild. I just pulled the heads off and it needs to be bored, etc.
And now that the engine is out, I'd like to get it done right... and I will also put a 200 R4 transmission in there, while I am at it...

So far, I found these two Pontiac Engine builders in SoCal (close enough to San Diego):

http://www.pacificperformanceracing.com/
and
http://pontiacpower.com/

Any experience with one or both of them?
Any other recommendations?
Any other shops around San Diego?

I appreciate your help! BTW, great forum!

In my personal opinion I would have Ken (Ace) Brewer build it. Ken is a member of these forums and will personally answer all questions you may have about your build.

Thumbs up

Another vote for PPR in San Pedro. I've had no dealings with the other shop. I suggest you do a search on this forum or the Internet.
