Shops that will do engine swap for cheap in the San Jose bay area
Hey guys, I have a 97 Civic DX with d16y7 manual transmission. Head gasket is blown and engine is toast, need a shop that will do an engine swap for cheap. I just sourced a stock 1998 d16y7 so it will be a simple direct swap.
I know that b-series swaps are super duper cheap nowadays, I'm sure this straight swap will be a tad bit cheaper since it's so easy to do. Anyone know if a place in the San Jose area? Also willing to drive out to the east bay like Hayward, Oakland to get this done. LMK if you guys know any decent shops around, thanks.

Can you really go wrong with this swap? I'll check out DC Projects, I hope they can do it for ~$400

...why can't you do it yourself? You can buy the tools and an engine hoist for under $400 and do it yourself.
