I was jus wondering, is there a way to just pay a performance shop like 4-6 grand and have them do all the work like getting the clip, installing the engine, and putting everything together. And I would make a monthly payment to them, like a financing plan for the 4-6gs for the swap.

Dont modify a car you have to make payments on. There will be things that come up post swap that will cost money to address and you dont want to have to pay for those AND make payments. Your best bet is to save up for it. Also, make sure the guy you get to do the swap knows what he is doing.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
