Swapping GTO engines - help sought
We have a complete running and drivable 11000 mile`06 GTO A4 with some front sheet metal damage.
We also have a very nice `65 GTO 455, tri-power, 4 spd. We have also bought a Muscle Rods conversion kit w/shorty Hedman headers, and a CTS pan.
We are seeking an experienced and reputable shop to transplant the LS2 and 4L60E trans into the 65, and return it to us running and reliable. Our first choice would be a shop in the Southeast that has performed such swaps.
Looking for recommendations from forum members.
The conversion work will be the subject of a magazine feature "how to" article. The idea is to find shops that are relatively unknown, but very capable of such work, that might cause more LS fans to go forward with such swaps and expand their source and knowledge base.
We are not seeking free work, just quality at a fair price for a task that enthusiasts will be encouraged to follow and/or emulate.
Thanks for your input and help.
