Hi there could any of your guys direct me to someone who has a facility/garage/shop that can drop a motor and swap one in for me? I really want to tackle it myself as I have before but I dont have the facilities to do it this time around. I basically almost had my car towed away from my driveway the last time I swapped a motor. ( I live in a townhouse complex where they have stupid gay rules and regulations). I will be willing to pay a fair amount for it to be done. All I ask is for the motor to be swapped. I will then tow the car back to my place and do the rest of the work to be done. Please reply or send me a PM and we can discuss further. thanks SON in advance. ---
