My problem is I just want to be like heres $5000, get it done. Come back 2 weeks later and pick up my celica. Obviously things dont work like that, I dont know jack sh*t when it comes to engines, I always used 2 let my friend work on my old 300zx but now he moved away. I love my car but its 2 damn slow :-( any suggestions on how to get the 3s swap done? Im tempted to ship my car to where 1 of these other guys have had there swap done and just let them do it for me.

Yeah, doing it yourself is really the best way to go. I didn't and I paid the price bigtime...my car was down for over half of an incredibly stressful year.

But since then I haven't taken my car to a shop for anything and I've learned a ton. And I'd definitely do my swap myself if I could do it over.
