i do have a couple h22's but those are motors that will be built for next years race season. all those prices are labor prices ( parts and etc... is paid by the customer). i can help you find motor+tranny's but i probably get the same prices as any of you guys

On a more serious note, I hope someone does another H22 swap in their CL here in SoCal by him.

btw max, i might wait later for the suspension installation. my main goal right now is the h22 (which i will get installed at your place for sure) and im not looking to do any side projects.

do you do tranny swaps as well? i got an auto right now... when doing the h22 doe sthe 550 include changing from auto to manual?

he will give you a reasonable price. but i think you need to leave the car over there for a couple of days and 2 ask him exactly what you need.
