For an FE engine builder local to Atlanta, I will repeat Tommy's suggestion of Southern Automotive. They have been building FEs for a long time. While I haven't had any direct dealings with them, I know of someone who does on a regular basis, and has nothing but good things to say about them.

+1 on checking the dist gear. Very easy to pull.
