My cousin's shop. He might not be the cheapest, but he/I will guarantee the work. Some of the TCC members go to him.

Lots of choices here, I might as well add Altech to your list.

Remember, you are looking for quality of work, not how much you can save.

If you want a hassle-free swap, with full warranty and no worries take it to altech. they've done so many swaps for club members in the last 3 months alone and not a single complaint. One member got a full GSR swap and it was done in a day... very clean swap.. the engine was mint.

A few months ago my clutch died out of nowhere. Took it to Altech and it turns out the clutch pedal wasn't installed properly when i had my manual conversion done by KSR. 2 bolts that were supposed to hold the pedal in place were not there. Joe fixed it, gave me a sweet deal on a new clutch with install. It pays to be a TCC Member.

I had my swap done at Altech - had a few minor problems (not install related) and all were cleared up at no cost to me. Can't beat that. This inlcuded a few sensors replaced for free and a few axles that I destroyed at the track.
