How about https://finelineimports.net ?
i would think Bill Arnold's shop could do it
My unsolicited opinion, but that’s what forums are for right?
I said it 18 months ago. I’ll say it again. Pull the motor. Drop in a used carbureted 3.0 lump. All within your skill set. Enjoy the car and workout the kinks.
From there you can sell the e9, sell the motor, put the motor in an e3/e12, or keep both and save the s38 for a rainy day.
IMO, the drivetrain is “the easy part” on these cars. I have PPI’d project cars and completely ignored the state of the drivetrain knowing that evaluating the chassis is the best use of my time.
Your chassis is done. Your interior is done, your wheels are done. Stick a temporary lump in there and enjoy the car. You gain nothing by uncompromising on a built motor that will cost $3K-$10K to tune.

WHY IS EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET SO GRUMPY?
by Leo A. NotenboomUsing all upper-case characters is the internet form of shouting, and is considered quite rude. Don't be surprised if you get a grumpy response.
True.
also TRUE.
Megasquirt has a tune for the s38 engine. I’d ditch all the antiquated links stuff and start with megasquirt. Or do what Markos suggests.
aearch's keyboard has a permanently stuck CAP LOCK I think.....LOL. Never seen CAPS not on.....

Alan, it must have been an older unit.
