Whats up zilvia, im in desperate need of some help here!

Situation:

I have an sr20det full rebuild that i sent to what i thought was a trusted mechanic. I forwarded him the money for labor (again lifetime friend so i trusted him) and bought all the parts myself.

It took him about 4 months just to rebuild the block, and now the block is just sitting in the engine bay waiting to get everything hooked up. Its been sitting there for 2 MONTHS NOW! And is now trying to give me the run around with no work done to it but plenty of cars in his shop being worked on. Ive pressured him to get it done and now I am trying to reach out on here for advice on how to proceed.

Help!!!

Should I cut my losses and pick up the car and have another shop finish it up. And if i do is there any Sr20 knowledgable mechanics willing to finish it off for a decent price?

Only reason this worries me is because that takes away the liability from him which he did all the internal work to it.

I already have a lot of money invested in this build and I just want to hear opinions on how to proceed. And if theres any reliable mechanic on here who can give me a quote let me know!!
