Default Where to get a 2JZ Swap done in Nor Cal?

I am looking to get a 2JZ-GTE engine swapped in my SC300 along with a 6 speed tranny. Any recommendation as to who is the best in the bay? I am looking for quality work. I see the banner for Exact motor sports on this site, maybe I'll give them a call . I don't want to have to search for the parts myself, I want a shop that will do everything for my and install everything right.

If you got the money, try turbohoses r&d.
Very pricey, but again if i am considering doing a swap on 2JZ, i would rather save up and have him do it.

No, I have never heard of the company. I just got done speaking with Mark from SP engineering. Lets just say, it was the highest price I have been quoted thus far . It would be quality work though.

i know they did this swap before, but i'd pass on these guyz, no offence. tried to get them to do a 2JZGTE swap on my cressida and they gave me the run around. and when i finally got it done by some other guy, they started making smart-a** coments on the swap and said it wasn't done right.

Who did your swap? Did you get it BAR certified?

A stock 2JZ swap with a 6 speed, nothing special, not even an exhaust. 20K. That included all parts and labor. Not a bad price when you think about the great quality parts and work you are getting.
