dfw shops for lsx swap?
was considering swapping out the lt1/a4 for a low mile lsx/a4 instead of rebuilding the lt1. does anyone know of any shops in the dfw area (or within reasonable distance of dfw) that would be willing to do this? i've been looking into the swap and it doesn't look terribly difficult, but i don't have the means or time to do it. any info is greatly appreciated

OP, I have done many LSx swaps and it's not too difficult. Good luck

also, i figured i could get out a little cheaper by buying an ls1 or lq4, freshening it up a bit and throwing in a mild cam and some decent heads than buying a decent, low mileage ls1 car. even if the price was a little more expensive, it would be worth it as i would know exactly what's in it. it doesn't hurt that the suspension/chassis parts are all relatively new, either.
this isn't a for sure thing. just tracking down some places and getting quotes. trying to decide whether i should build the lt1, convert ls1, buy ls1 car, or buy a nicer, newer car but live with a car payment.
