What shop is it at now?

The only place that I know of that I would bring my car to would be LSE, seems like they do really good work. Here is their website http://www.lse-performance.com/

is your cousin the owner of TY Autosport??? Well my engine is at their place right now, and its been there since end of Feb. 06. They haven't even touched it yet, everything is still sitting where i left them. RS Motors, i call them but they never call back so its not good customer service. any other place please advise.

Thanks

Yeah i seen that girl in there..and no the c-5 bumper is not me who brought it in but the st185 motor in the back of the garage with all the parts on the ground, thats mine. The swap, he told me everything from tranny work, clutch & flywheel, 3" exhaust, IC piping, wiring harness and the motor to drop in is about $1200-$1300.

RS seems to be pretty good. My buddy with his turboed 7th gen is having his motor built there and he hasn't had any problems with them. I have heard that they are usually very busy so they don't call back or answer their phones much though.

Isn't TY off White Bear?
