Default Blue Oval Expertise Needed

Ok, Ok I know what you're all thinking and trust me, when it's said and done this baby won't be blue-oval powered. But in the meantime I'm looking for some help this Sat or maybe even Sunday near Valencia/Magic Mountain Area.
I'm thinking about buy a '92 Fox Body and would like to know if there is a shop around Magic Mountain/Valencia (SoCal) that would be willing to put a car on a rack for me and help me check it out.
I'm a Chevy guy and understand about the torque boxes etc., but would like a trained eye and a lift to make sure this Fox is the right one.
The catch, I need to do it this Saturday or Sunday July 19th or 20th. Anyone know a shop or a house with a jack or lift and some Fox-body knowledge that can help me? I don't have much $ but am willing to pay for the expertise.
If so, please e-mail me at UpOn2Whls2 [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thanks!
Justin

Bring it down to Valley Village (North Hollywood area) and I'll check it out for free for you... 1992 is a good year. 1991-1992 are best IMO because they had the airbag (1990+) have black interior as an option (1991+) and have forged pistons (1992 and older)...
