Default places to do swaps?

sup guys? im interested in buying a s13 or a 280z and swaping the motor? i know XAT is in tampa but i think they are a little expensive. if i go with the s13 i am going with a rb series motor (was going to do sr but rb is just better since this will be like a project car not a DD) and if i go with the 280z idk yet either the L28 turbo, rb series, or something like an LS1 or some V8.

so were is a place to get the swap done for a reasonable price?
i would do the swap myself but i dont have the tools/equipment and i have no idea where to start. so.

thanks guys.

350whp is a low low 11sec car.
can do it on stock internals but always nice to upgrade to pistons.
i would go:

MSnS ecu
T3/T4 60-1 turbo
ported stock exhaust manifold.
240sx t-body
pallnet fuel rail
adjustable fpr
walbro pump
supra injectors.
custom downpipe
custom 3in exhaust
misc gauges
electronic boost conrtoller.
maybe the ford edis system for ignition..

not much more and your around that power on pump gas and a mild tune.

wow low 11 sec. nice. but is the car gonna be drivable. yea i want it to be fast and all but would it be drivable for DD if i wanted?

and how much would all that cost me? car+parts....car doesnt have to be in perfect condition w/e i find i find.

yea that would be great. i found a nice one on autotrader with a v8 and a lot of work done to it....looks really nice but asking 12k....i wouldnt be able to buy that unless i sold my wrx. that would be awesome though.

who can tune these cars?
how much do u think that set up u listed above would cost me. probably cheaper then doing an rb25/26 im guessing.

thanks bro
