Icon2 Recommend a shop in Socal for engine swap

I am looking into swapping out my d16 (256,000 miles), and get a b18c5. Any one have a good experience or shop they recommend and trust? In socal. I've been out of the car mod industry for a few years.

might be kinda far depending on where you're at but Joe at Eastside Muffler in Palmdale does awesome work. might be a bit pricey but it's worth it. he did a clean job on my car and a few of my friends' cars. no ghetto wiring or mickey mouse ****. they are some cool guys and i've never had problems with them or heard of anybody having problems with them.
