Where in the Northwest is a shop with a good rep to perform the work?

If you want to convert to full pressure rod lubrication that is more involved- you have to drill the crankshaft and modify the block so oil flows to the rod journals. It's easier to put in a 235 block and you can disguise it as a 216.
