found someone.

Short Version: Looking for someone to swap a new b20b motor into my DC for cheap. I can drive the car to you if needed or you can come to me if you have no room and portable tools/cherry lifter. Let me know how much you charge. Also, how much do you charge just to do a head gasket change.

Long Version: I'm around the Fountain Valley area (Orange County). I have a DC with a B20 that overheated (white smoke started coming out and now there is oil in the radiator). The first time it overheated, I didn't even notice and the motor shut off. I had it towed to work because I was late. After work, I refilled the radiator and let it run for a bit, and noticed a small leak in one of the hoses (the one that goes from the bottom of the throttle body into the block). It was a small leak so I figured I can make it home at least (10 miles away). So I took a chance and drove the car home. As I was about to get home (like .5 miles away), the needled jumped to 3/4 again at idle, but I kept the car in motion after than and the needle moved back down. Anyway, made it home, and noticed the radiator was super low again. The reservoir has oil (milky colored fluid) in it so I think my head gasket is gone. I'm wondering though, could I have warped my head also and possible damaged anything else? If not, maybe I'll just change the head gasket. The car still runs, I haven't really drove anywhere far since.

If there's possible head warpage or other problems, I was thinking of just picking up a long block for like $400-$500 and swapping it in instead of dealing with other possible problems. So looking for someone who would pull my b20 motor, swap everything (tranny, clutch, intake manifold, new timing belt from my current motor, new water pump from current motor) over to the new b20, and then install it into my DC. How much?

I don't really have time to do this myself anymore and I sold my cherry picker a long time ago so I just wanna pay someone who has the tools to do it for me. I can take a day off of work and help out (I did like 3 motor swaps 10 years ago so I'm a bit rusty on the process, but I can still do some grease work).

Please email me at tr0ll@live.com (0 is a zero) or PM me here if you are willing to do it.

Hit up beaneg6. I'm sure he is the cheapest and does quality work that I can vouch for. He has done 3 swaps for me in a matter of 3-5 months.
