Default A little help Please

Hi Guys,
I am trying to do some research into swapping out the motor on my Lexus GS300 (Mark 2) which is currently a 3.0 na straight 6 and installing an LS series engine. I am trying to find out if a company in the states is still in business - DGR Fabrication i think they operate from San Jose ca.

Thanks in Advance

Sorry, on this one, it states that the company is permanently closed.
Maybe someone else knows differently?

Super expensive, but beats trying to fab something, I think.
Maybe the US dollar will tank before the Euro, then you'll get a deal. lol
