Florida engine builder?

I'm kind of new to FL, can anyone point me to a local engine builder that has some good references? Probably looking to rebuild with my block and heads and I'd like to find someone capable of setting up the bottom end, port the heads and do cams too. Aurthor Todd is a LONG way from Tampa!

Can you hear that noise? (knock, knock, knock...)

Talk to Sam at Coastal Dyno (813) 849-2423

He installed and tuned my Whipple.

I know this might be a little **** on my side, but after looking at pictures of their shop I'm going to make Coastal my first stop. Anyone that takes that kind of pride in the looks of their shop probably takes pride in their work too!

That makes several of us in Tampa with Lightnings that are that way as well...

There are at least 6+ of us on the board that have used Sam @ Coastal.

The shop & his work are top notch...I'll be there this week myself for a re-tune after adding a Steig ported Eaton & full exhaust

But, he would build you one hell of a motor! You know that.
