Can anyone reccomend a marine engine builder in central florida? Either coast would be fine too. I am going to modify a mk IV 454 carb w/350 hp. I would like 450-500 hp when done. Maybe someone can tell me if this is possible with 87 octane!!!

I'd drive south and see timmy. The trip would be the best investment you could make. Innovation is in sarasota and there are probably a couple more in the central area. One of the Fla guys will chime in sooner or later.

Laz Mesa... Miami Area... but the one to go to.
I'm contemplating shipping my block from NY.

Thanks guys keep em' comming. If you have the phone number handy please post it too.

Here ya go

ILLFLYBYYA, went to the lightning bay site. There was no mention of custom engine building. Is this just not advertised?

Don't forget Tom and his crew at Flgship Marine and Dave at Innovation. These are also good engine builders.Thes people mentioned here have really state of the art shops and lots of proven winning expierence.
