Thanks. I know about Top Motorsports... it's right down the road from me. I was just wondering if anyone personally has gotten anything done by them or anyone else that they would like to speak highly of. Appreciate you though.

Right now theres an S14 getting an LS1 swap done, and another one is in the shop, iirc.

At OTT Dave is great. He did the swaps in my first 240 and my friend Ryans

Racing Innovations can get you absolutely anything you need from japan or otherwise. They are reasonably priced to.

anyone know a reputable shop around the Clarksville or Nashville area that will install an Rb25det into my s13 for a reasonable price? I've been looking around at the ones in the area and have e-mailed most, but was just wondering if anyone here has had any swap experiences with them?

Thanks.

Many of these shops on the list no longer do motor swaps.

I called almost all of them in the near-nashville area and they all said they no longer do the swaps.

I don't know if I came on too strongly or what, but Bennetts Automotive looked like me best bet.

That's why I only recommended those two. My buddy just got his B14 200SX boosted at JGY. It's sweet.
