Question

Someone to do LS SWAP?

Here is the deal, I am in the army and stationed in Germany right now. I have my 85SS sitting at my old mans ranch in San Antonio. I am returning back to the states in Nov and I am looking for someone in or close to South Texas that can swap an ls1-2 in my SS....if so how much an how long..a price that would not make me have to sell one of my kids would be nice, LOL. I was planning on doing this my self but the lack of time is whats going to be the project killer. I dont require any thing special in the swap. Just cant seem to find someone I feel comfortable with being a butt load of miles away. Thanks guys!

Do you have the motor/trans? Are you looking to go EFI or carb?
