GOOD!!!... engine sweapping shops in northern cali

Read up and do it on your own, save yourself a bundle, not to mention, you'll know a lot more about your car, and you can buy yourself a nice set of tools, shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 days if you spend enough time reading before hand and the swap is pretty complete. Good luck.

Re: (electric-boost)
There's a guy in SJ that I bought a set of axles off of that do swaps. He has a shop behind his house and seems pretty legit. He is also a member here on h-t but I forgot his sn. Anyway his shop is called Hybrid Automotive, and his name is Jeff Sloan.

just go ahead and give it a try yourself. I watched my friends do them before and then did my first one in my car in like 8 hours with a friend and then when we pulled that one, we did a running to running swap in 4.5 hours. it is really simple.

buy a helms manual and go from there. you really only need a very few tools to do it. go to sears and get yourself one of those $100 sets and you are good to go.
