Hey, after reading a ton of info on doing a 3s-gte engine swap, and trying to decide if I really want to do this or just stick with my stock GT engine. Well, I've finally decided that I want to do the engine swap. However, my main problem is I live in **** hole town and no one here knows anything about cars and seeing as how I'm not the most knowledgable person when it comes to cars either, I would really like to find a shop or someone who can do it for me. The swap seems like a lot of hard work so I'm looking for a shop to do the swap for me, perferably one in the South West, like California, or Arizona. If anyone knows a good place that's dependable, let me know. Thanks

It seems to be the overall opinion that when you buy a clip, you should try to get an all-trac clip. Most of the 3s-gte clips I've found were for a mr2 which has a rear engine, so would this not work? Would I need to find a front clip for a, say, 93 Celica All-Trac? What, in your opinion, is the best generation? Or is there even a difference? I guess, which is the easiest? Money isn't really that big of an issue right now, so could you maybe suggest a shop of So Cal that would be the best choice? Twenty freakin question here.
