Default Anybody know any good place in PA to do an engine swap?

If so, what's the website? I remember there use to place a performance shop called Impo Performance in Warminster but the website doesn't work anymore.

<U>DON'T GO TO IMPO PERFORMANCE</U> for any engine work or anything. I have heard so many bad stories and seen bad **** done. The best thing to do is to go to local shops in Quakertown, Perkasie, Dublin and ask them. I believe 2nd Street Speed in Perkasie does swaps.

WERD!! i've seen their work and heard even worse horror stories than what i've seen. maybe their site isn't working cause they went out of business.

i don't really know any shops that can do this professionally in the area i live in, so that's why my friend's and i do all our own work. north of Philly that is.

Oh **** dude you live in King of Prussia. I live in Norristown about 5 minutes from you. I will help a fellow member with a swap. You don't want to go to any shop and let them charge you like $1000 for the install when you and me can do it ourself with a box of pizza and a few beers.
I also went to impo before and they wanted way to much for a b16a swap I just walked out and left.
My buddy just opened up a shop in Northeast PA where I go to college. You can check out the site its in my signature, we do everything up their also.

<FONT SIZE="14">DO NOT TRUST ANYONE NAMED CLAYTON SITKO</FONT>

He lives in Allentown PA, as of two years ago.

I drove my car up to him to get a gsr installed. I sae numerous cars parked there, with numerous motors. He told me he would keep me informed on the status of my car.

Long story short, he drove my car over 1000 miles to the 'junkyard for part' and back... killed the batters, scratched the car as well as dented it, stained the seats, and left numerous personal belongings in there as well.

I was partially compensated for that... but we wont get into that. Just stay the hell away from him.


edit- sorry, was a lil big

excellent! i too read the Bible (i'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses) and the signs of the times etc. that it speaks about. the Bible sheds much light on the future and what will happen but it seems that most don't want to hear about it or read the Bible. it can help people with their lives now and in the future. good for you for doing so.

P.S. i didn't mean to "jack" someone else's thread, sorry about that.

hmm, i'm not far from Allentown but i don't think i know this guy you speak about.

what part of Allentown was he from? did he have a shop or was he just going to do a swap for you in his spare time?

i'll have to keep an eye out for him. but it's a good thing that i do all of my own work.

There is a shop called Impulse at 4941 Princeton Ave. (right off of cottman ave. headed towards 95). I went there to get some prices on suspension and was told they do swaps. They seem pretty reputable, of course you should go check it out for yourself and get more info. The number is 215-338-9749 and the website is http://www.impulseautodesign.com
