Default Engine Shop in Florida?

I was curious if anyone here can recommend an engine shop in or around Daytona Beach FL. I have a 1955 v8 out of a thunderbird I need assembly finished on. Basically I need everything but the block assembled and heads put on.
ie. rocker arms, valve covers, water pump, oil pan, ect ect ect.

I'd do it myself but I just don't have the time with school and everything.

Thank you for the lead. I call him and he sent me over to his engine builder. I'm waiting on a call back now.

I've had very high quality machine work, balancing, and head work performed by Kris Nelson at Nelson Competition Engines in Pinellas Park, FL (about 2-2.5 hours from Daytona). http://www.nelsoncompetition.com/
