Default Looking for a shop to do the swap for my CRX

I live in Turnersville, in South Jersey. Any good shop around here? I know there is a shop right off rt 42,SPark performance(Harry is running the shop).Any experience with him? Also how much it will cost me for labor for the ZC swap or B16 swap?
I have a 91 CRX DX. You can email me Petrosvr4@aol.com
Also i want to buy another CRX 88-91, so if u selling ur Rex send me an email

Be careful in choosing thats all I am saying. Given the fact that your car is a DX, finding a shop that is capable of doing a dual point to multi point conversion is important otherwise your car will be sitting for months. As a little story let me tell you this one. I deal with my local Honda dealer extensively...I have a parts account with them right. Well alot of the guys up there know what I do, and are aware I have been building Honda's for some years now. Well, as with most Honda dealerships, the Honda tech's think they are just the smartest ****** guys alive when it comes to Honda. Well I hear through a parts guy that some kid came in there with a DX CRX and a complete B16 swap and asked Honda to put it in. Well these two Honda techs step up apparently and tell the kid no problem. Well this dudes car ends up sitting there for over two months, and believe me he isnt' happy about it. Well the parts guy I know told the shop manager that I lived nearby and I would help them out. So Honda calls me last week and offers me flat rate to come fix the car. I have been doing these conversions for quite a few years so I went up and bailed Honda out. The funny part was, the whole time I was up there wiring the car, these two Honda techs are in my ear telling me how they could have figured it out...blah blah blah. Saying how they just don't have the time and all this bullshit. Its typical **** man. To be honest with you bro, you'd be better off swapping the motor yourself and paying someone to build you a conversion harness. I used to sell alot of these online but don't really do it much anymore, but if you were interested I'd help you out. I would need the B16 harness and your cars stock DX harness and 150bucks. If you need a hand man, email me Damian@Leveldracing.com. Good luck no matter what you do man.
