    Shops Specializing in Honda Engine Swaps?

    Are there any U.S.--east coast, preferrably--shops that specialize in swapping carburetored Honda engines with fuel-injected engines?

    I know there are a milliion threads here discussing various engine swaps, but I didn't read where anyone had taken it to a professional, which is what I would need to do.

    I'm not interested in a high-horsepower EFI, but rather a simpler swap.

    Also, hopefully the shop would change the transmisssion, if necessary, and the instrument panel.

    i dont really think a shop WILL do it and if they will the amount it will cost you is not worth it, you could buy 4+ fi accords for the price of swaping a carbed one threw a shop

    yea dude just the transmission is nearly impossible to get a shop to swap. i tried already... plus the engine and lines and all that shit... a shop wont do it but try craigslist.. you would be surprised what people are willing to do for money. i found someone to do the tranny swap for 300 flat....
