I'm looking for the same thing in this area for GM 8.5 rear. I spoke to these guys and am considering taking it to them: https://www.jdsautorestoration.com/

A forum member recommended this place but I haven't talked to them yet:

Looking for same in Maryland and have a call in to the Maryland Performance Center in Frederick MD - about 45 minutes from me. Hopefully can get ball park figure in cost.

Philly area wouldn’t be out of the question for me cause it’s only about 1.5 hours from me so will follow this thread.

You would do well to contact Brian Trick in Erie. Yes, I know its not "SE PA", but he builds a bunch of them and is very highly recommended. Should you want his contact info, please PM me.
