Default Where to take my Lexus SC300 for a 1JZ-GTE Swap?

I'm going to buy a 1JZ-GTE 5-speed full swap pretty soon and I wanted to know where is a place to take the motor and car to get the swap done correctly.

I really don't want to risk taking to someone who doesn't know.
I have a 1993 Lexus SC300.

Preferably a shop in South FL

There are quite a few shops ( and CL members, too ) who can do a good job with the 1J swap. Brian at ProLink Japan in Hallandale has done many 1J/2J swaps and stands behind his work. If you're interested I can PM his number.

I found his number and I got to talk to him and he gave me a price just for the labor. I really don't want to pay that much for the swap...

How much should I expect to pay to get the swap done?

Forget all of these shops!!!

I saw //LRD from LRD Performance in Plantation do the some engine work on

a 2J last week, and let me tell you he's the man!!

He could probably do the swap and wire the car in 2-3 days tops!!

J/K! LOL! I just had to post that...
