Cool...Is it hard to drop the subframe, or easier with more than 1-2 people.

any tips on where to find a type s engine? How much did you pay for yours if you don't mind me asking? Also, if someone were to pay you to do this swap, how much would you ask?

Ryan Duff at Duff Automotive In Middletown Oh did the swap. 513-422-8005.
He will do the complete swap for 5500 in a Si. All you have to do is pic up the car or if you dont live to far away he will deliver. The swap will take about 3-4 tays.
