I am brand new to the West coast, Mill valley to be exact and need to replace an NA motor into a vert for the Drive down to Seven stock in a few weeks.

Also since I am from back east and have few tools and knowledge of the area
i could use a hand finding my way around the bay area.

Good parts store..
Good machine shop.

any local gurus give a brother a hand..pm me if your local.

 

do you have a replacement motor? are you doing a rebuild? details will help your search

 

welcome to the bay area bruh hope some1 closer to you can asnwer your questions

 

I shipped an engine today from NY via yellow fright and should be there next week.
..my worries are since the vert was off the road for a while and vacume hoses, brackets etc may give out if a local guru had a parts s4 or s5 this could be a blessing.

I have to make sure all is good so i can take the 400+ mile drive down to SS.

 

I'm local...just 30 miles north of you.

 

I run a smog shop on the weekends down in Santa Clara. I have a lift and a multitude of tools. Sunday is my free day to work on my car or my friends cars. If you really need some help with something hit me up on a Sunday. No overnight stays though. it pisses my boss off.

 

more info on your car and what you're replacing/trying to do. be specific.

make sure your parts are series matched. the last thing you want is to have to replace things that don't fit


some things off the top of my head.
replace vac lines, gaskets, fuel lines, fuel filter.
check coolant lines and hoses for cracks, tears or oil saturation. replace if needed.
brackets should be okay.
check your mounts replace if needed.
change fluids.

 

hey this is great..don't think i will need a shop but just an insurance policy if i cant get something going. Here in NY i know who has what or where i can go when i need to rig something up but I am lost in San-Fran will pm you guys..
