Recommendation for a shop for Engine Rebuild in Hampton Roads area?

Hey guys,

I bought a '68 Mustang with a 289 in it. I'd prefer to keep the original engine rather than do a swap or crate engine so I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a shop that does rebuilds in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area?

Thanks!

i dont know if youve called him yet.. but almost forgot to mention his shop was small.. so he does not have the ability to do any in shop engine pulling.. so youd have to pull it yourself and take it to his shop...
