Default Shop in California to do LS Firebird Conversion

Hey Folks,

TONS of good info on this site. One question for you guys...what shops, in or near So Cal, would you guys recommend to do an LS installation in to a first Gen Firebird?

What's the approximate cost to do a stock LS installation with transmission? Basically keeping it stock, to get it running. Then I'd add trick stuff as a later project.

OR, if you know of a 67 Firebird convertible that already has an LS dropped in to it, that would work as well.

Drop me a line.

Kind of depends on how much money you are willing to spend. Tri-C Engineering in Valencia, CA does restorations, historics, movie, and street rods of all kinds. Their work is tops, IMO.
