Need an experienced motorhead to help adjust and tune engine in Houston, TX

I have a 454 BB, bored .030 over.
Its a long block.

I need to start it and want to see if any experienced mechanics would come and do this for me.

It needs rockers adjusted, install intake, carb, fuel pump, and other minor stuff...

Im located on the East side of Houston.

Or do you guys have any suggestion on a reputable shop.

Thanks

I would have know Idea what he would charge. He does this as a Hobby and runs a oil recycling business. Don't know for sure about the misc stuff you want done but you looking at the better part of a day sounds like. John is pretty hyper and get stuff done quick most of the time. He knows his crap on how to make them fast. I will ask him

Thanks
