swap shops in st pete area-tampa
Need to know any reputable shops that offers a complete swap and installation. I tried calling LHT but no one seems to pick up the phone.. any more shops similar to them? that offers the engine and the install together? thanks for the input..

What motor in what car?
I have a small shop and can get and install motors. I can give references also.
Example:
usdm b18c1 installed into 92-95 civic for $3400 including A/C mount. The price varies a little depending on the the availability and my engine supplier.
pm me if you are interested.

haven't picked out a shop yet, i definitely need to get a swap soon, the engines im goin for is either a b18b or b16... I need to get this done by next monday or at least close within that time frame. Definitely a serious buyer. I dont really have too much experience buying engines online so i would prefer the shop offer the swap and the install as a packaged price. thanks for the replies. by the way, do the local shops here have their own website? the only one i know of is lht performance.

There are handful of good shops in St Pete/Tampa Area.
If St. Pete or Clearwater
LHT does good work and he can also get you an engine. He does very impressive work, very clean. I highly recommend them.
Also Secret Services do awesome work as well you might want to give them a call. I am not sure whether they can get motors or not and they have excellent prices and their work is acceptable, they also have a dyno that can tune it for you for better results.
Also Corey T. does good work as well, I haven't heard of him in a whiel so im not sure if he still does work
There are also some independent guys who are also great.
There ya go hopefully this will be somewhat helpful. Call those shops and see what they can do for you. The best way is to call and get their expertise instead of just going by their websites.
hope to help

Dang, i've been looking for shops to do this but the 3 i tried are either super busy or no one's answering the phone.
