Re: Doing LS Swap - I have no idea what I'm doing!

Just a quick update - No progress, but making record of what I'm doing...

Emailed a local shop that does tuning and makes custom harnesses (Prevatt Auto). They referred me to another mechanic that "does more LS swaps than any other shop in Tulsa. You'll be surprised at his prices". They have a working relationship on swaps and tuning it sounds like. Both really nice guys, and referred each other for LS swap needs.

Brad (mechanic) quoted me between $2600-$3000 in labor, and time frame of 1-2 months, depending on his workload. I asked about him supplying parts (I know where that leads), but I was just feeling him out. He said he hadn't had any motors in a couple of months. His last few customers have supplied everything. But, he has a guy that goes to auctions and he'd (Brad) would have him keep an eye out for donor vehicles and let me know.

That's all I have for now. Have a good day!
