V8 Swaps In South?

Anyone have a list of shops who can do an LS1 swap in an FD in the southeast USA? Thanks.

Not me....everyone answer only with what they know. Please resist the temptation to "educate" on what is a known sore spot for many in this rotary community, thanks.

Best Advice: Don't Do It

Why Would You Want To Replace A Big Heavy *** Motor With A Nice Little Lite Motor. As Much Money As Its Going To Take To Swap It, You Can Put A Turbo Ii Swap, Change A Few Parts Boost It Up And You Will Have More Power Than A Ls1 And Keep The Car Nice And Lite. But If You Really Want To Go Piston Then Look For An Auto Hobby Shop In Your Area Because A Speed Shop Probably Wont Do It.
