Yes becuase swapping engines on the busy streets of NY is fun

No seriously, Isn't there a shop called Pahse2 Motorsports in like LI? I've heard of it but couldn't find any info, hopefully you have better luck than me. But if you find anything, be sure to post up info for the rest of us

You can try DRT in woodside, RPM in Queens Village, Eastern in Flushing, Claws in Fresh Meadows, NRG in Long Island, Fizz in Bayside. There is also a spot by the shea stadium area. Also hit up Dan gsr on the board he also does swaps

i think eastern and fizz just sell parts. I'm sure DRT and RPM can help with the labor.
