Anyone know of or had experience with any shops in Dallas Tx, that do SR swaps. After looking at the cost of turboing a KA, i'm considering the swap if it will net me more power be=too or less costly.
I saw Daunttless' website and the prices seemed good. If i lived closer to him, i'd be all for it, I just don't know any shops in DAllas other than Jo-tech and i won't take a car there, EVER.

well unfortunatly that's all i'd be good for too. lol
I don't know the first thing about swapping engines. maybe if it was an old push mower with a 1.5HP briggs and straton engine i could do it, but i have a feeling this is way more complicated.
If i could do the swap myself i wouldn't be asking for shops. The only engine work i can do is replacing spark plugs and wires. Plus i'd like to go from the auto to a stick.
BTW i'm in north dallas, kinda where Plano,Carrolton and Dallas all come together.
try http://www.ctcmotorsports.com , it's behind TI at 635 and 75.
shoot dang, if you didn't mind driving down to college station, I have a shop here that has an engine lift and all the necessary stuff to do the swap. However I have never swapped an engine either, so I guess we would just stand around a lot and since all of us would be ordering food, we would just eat the whole time

sounds like a plan. We can all eat pizza and drink beer and tell stories of how bad *** our cars will be once we shoe horn a RB26DETT into it. :beerchug :bonghit
HAHA, sounds like a plan. its gonna be like King of the Hill, all of us standing around staring at the engine bay, sipping beer, and saying "yep".
As for a meet, if you guys dont mind the drive, come on over to the place i work at, Angelina's in The Colony. its a tex-mex place, food isnt bad, but could be better.
240_Keyy, if things work out, i should be in College station in about 7 months. maybe i'll see you there.
