thanks for the posts, i would go with SS but they seem busy all the time, and i need to get this done REALLY REALLY soon. KJ i pm'ed u, did u get it? let me know. 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. Like i said, i would prefer someone offer me the engine and the install together, since i dont know jack shit about buying engines online.. thanks for the replies though.
