i'm wasting my time typing this, but that was a very dumb question. atlanta is one of the biggest places for car shops and stuff. the most famous and ridiculous one is there, NOPI. talk to those geeks.

I checked with balanced performace and they estimated $1500-$2200 for labor for a complete SR swap.

Unstable Hybrids charges about $1700-$1900 for the engine swap.

Dauntless charges $1,000.

Just FYI. :)

I use ballanced for a lot of stuff, allan knows me by name(and credit card number, probably) I would never hesitate to suggest their services, I've never been unhappy with them.

there are plenty of atlanta spots for things, just look around, or ask jerome, myself, etc...check out chris mays car, hes a local.-chet

Im getting my swap done at Tiger Racing in Atlanta. He seems very knowledeable.....last time I went there, he was doing a swap for a 96 240. He will take out your turbo and inspect it and change the gasket as well. The price seems reasonable. Heres his number (770)453-9299. When are you getting your swap?
