Reccomendations for engine builder in east Tennessee?

[papabearxl]

HI all. After a friend of mine (who is knowledgable enough) having my 1966 Olds 330 for too long (about 2 years) to build, I will be going to get all my stuff in the next week or two.
I let him take this on, after he said he would do it, working on it as he could, may take a couple of months, and turned into forever (2 years). I don't have the space or expert know how, and after all the money I have spent on parts and work, I am looking around my area for someone to finish the motor. ANyone have any suggestions in the east Tennessee area? All machining work is done and block is partially assembled, (I will see how complete it is when I pick it up), but just in the chance I need someone, can anyone point me to a reputable Olds man?

I need this done....I don't have the space, time or as much knowledge as I want in respect to how much money has been spent on the parts and machine work to leave it to chance in my own hands.

Thanks for the offer.
I have to get a chance to get over there to his garage and see how far it is along, and then go from there. I appreciate your reply!

I could probably give you hand as well,I'm no expert by any means but the offer is out there. I've noticed quite a few of us from the eastern part of the state.When it gets warm weather we should do some sort of run through the hills across foothills parkway or something.

I'd definitely be up for something as long as it's after June 8) We'll be somewhere in Blount county (don't have a house yet so not sure exactly where yet) once we get moved. Hopefully I'll have some tires on my Cutlass before then......
