randy 77zt Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 after 20+ years working in the auto repair industry i can give you a warning.having custom work done(engine swaps)is not a good idea.why?becuase most shops work from mitchell or chilton flat rate time manual.since there is no flat rate time for custom work the high probablity is you car will be dissassembled-the shop will find out they are in over their heads and they will either keep asking you for more money or you car will sit in a corner of the shop gathering dust-until you either tow it out or pay the shop more money.or if they finish it cheap it will be so botched you will end up redoing a bunch of work because it was just thrown together in a hurry-because they needed to be on some more profitable work.i sed to manage a little shop in hayward back in early 90's.we did project cars sometimes-but only for owners of busniesses that had commercial accounts with us becuase we got some money back from working on that companies trucks.best to do this work your self-or you must be rich enough to afford having a high end shop that does fab and race prep do it right the first time.there are many fly by night shops around that will blow smoke up your a$$ to get some business these days-but i would find customers cars that are actually on the road and ask about the shops work first.
