if mike can't do the install, i'm sure that he can point you in the right direction.

you sure you can't do it yourself with a couple knowwledgable friends?

what is mikes sn and i might be able to do the swap but i wouldn't want to risk saving all that money buying the engine then messing it up on something that could be avoided i would rather go and watch while the swap is done so i understand do they usually let you stay and watch them work has anyone had experience with this

Buy a helms for your car and the engine. With an engine lift(which you can bypass with two big jacks) and some tools, and of course some friends(trustworthy), you can do it.
