Default Good shop in Socal...

What is a good shop in Socal to perform a B18 GSR engine swap into a 95 ex? What can I expect to pay to have this done? I did search and found a wealth of info about the swap but I couldn't find recommended shops in Socal to perform the install.

You can try:

http://jhpusa.com, they are in South El Monte, I have ask before and they have quoted me around $ 3,900 for my DX. They're pretty reliable, no bullshit.

or

http://www.racelinedevelopment.com, they are in Temple City, they quoted me $3,800
but 2 days turn around time. Ask for Elton Lo, he's a great guy and does engine swap very quickly. Straight to the point as well.

Let me know if you can find a cheaper and more reliable shop.

Thanks for the help! Are these JDM or USDM engines that you were qouted for? Any downside with getting JDM? Also, I live in Huntington Beach so if anyone has anymore info on UPFD in Newport Beach I would appreciate it.
