Default Northern VA people- where to get swap done??

Hey I recognized there are a lot of N.VA people in here (Bumnah, reverse) I was wondering if you guys or anyone else could tell me where to get a swap done. I am thinking b16a or b18c1 into a 95 Civic Coupe, and i am keeping POwer Steering too...

Can not tell you any place - watch your *** - cheap is cheap, but expensive is cheap sometimes too, not to mention Inline!!!!

do u have the motor and just looking for labor costs? or u mean total cost for finding you a motor & labor costs of putting it in.

autothority is a quality place and they know their stuff. but they'll be $$$$.

u might want to try vertex... they're not as well known as CDE or InLine or Autothority, but they can do the work and have the engine hoist.

i know somebody (who lives near Dulles Airport) that does all his work out of his garage. if you bring the engine, i'm sure he'll do it crazy cheap

call around...you might call some non performance shops too, they might not jack the price up...ever consider doing the work yourself? its not all that hard...you might have to rent a couple of tools to get it done..but it can be done in your driveway.

Do it yourself. Or if you want...me and my boy can do swaps too. But I live in VA Beach. We can come up there and do it for cheap though. 1 day. Let me know.
