Default Need a shop to do my 1JZ SWAP

Hey all, I'm in north OC and would like to know if any of ya'll can recommend me to a shop preferably local to do my 1JZ swap on my SC300. I have a busy work schedule so I dont have time to look around to see who does what and don't know that many people around the area. So if you know any reputable shops that do engine swaps let me know(numbers/addresses), thanx..

I am selling a SC already got a 1JZ in it...

you can see it here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...ml#post4416433

or u can call Steve @ SR Motorcars...in Gardena, he specialize in SC and 1JZ..you can call him @ 310 516 1003

with my car, it is tuned by Steve and it will save you the hassle of installation and wait time. I am selling because I got a 3rd gen GS and I have no room where I live to keep 2 cars...Let me know. Thanks

Kaizen motorsports they are in OC, City of Orange/Anaheim. They have a forum over on Supramania. Ask for Jose, they did a 1jz swap on my old sc300 (R.I.P.) tear tear. Went auto to manual and had a few other things I needed done. They are honest guys also (not to say any of these other shops arent)

(626) 757-8540 Jose. Tell him Chris (Clublexus) don't know if my name carries weight or anything lol
