Anyone in nyc that knows a guy
Where are you? Shitty City is a big place.Anyone in nyc
find some machine shops, ask them if they know any mechanics they recommendI am in Queens. The problem here is that no one wants to do an extended project that can go wrong in so many ways. They only want to do quick jobs to get as much cash as quickly as possible. Brakes, oil, tires, etc. It is a rare shop that will even know what a G-body is, let alone know the right way to go about a swap. I had a hot-rod loving friend with a shop right near my job that would do anything. We sent out a 1988 Firebird engine to be rebuilt by my machinist. Then my shop buddy did the swap. While the Firebird was at the shop- the radio was stolen. Like I said- Queens. Unfortunately my buddy passed away a few years ago. I guess the best way to find a guy is to cruise around and if you see a likely looking shop- stop and speak with them. Every now and then I see a front wheel drive engine/trans on a dolly out front so there are some shops willing to do it. Remember that most mechanics today don't even know what a carburetor or a distributor are.
