Charlotte or any surrounding area shops that will handle a 3sgte swap?, Engine swap, mechanics Options

Hey guys. I'm rather new to the area and to the Celica family. Is there anyone in the Charlotte, NC area or surrounding states that can handle the 3sgte swap? Or maybe someone widely known in the circles that could handle the job? I'm aware of the costs and fine with it, however I don't have the technical skills to go about doing a project like this.
Any help is appreciated!

As for professional shops that would do it - Tweak'd Performance used to do swaps but I think they've moved towards only doing wiring harnesses.

Several North Carolina members have swapped 3S-GTEs into their cars and would be great resources: bsamps4 (Ben), easternpiro1 (Matt), mgnt232 (Nick), and TwistedCeli94 (Bobby). I recommend reading through Ben's project thread to get an idea of what you'll be doing and what type of tools/budget/effort you'll need: click.

PS: Welcome to the family and hopefully we can get together for a meet-up with the rest of the NC guys.
