Richmond, Va 3S Swap? Options

[97celist]

hey everyone.. new to the forums.. but not to the celica way of life.. Have a 97 celica st le with around 170,000 miles on it. The motor is finally started giving me problems (after years of reliable service) so what better reason to preform my dream swap. Other than the fact that I've been saving for this for as long as I've had the car... Anyway, I'm looking for anyone in the Richmond, Virginia area, or Virginia in general who could recommend a shop who could do the swap.. I've got the knowledge for the swap, but no tools to do it with and no where to do it at.. Any help would be much aprieciated.. T

^^ if you are looking for a shop to do the swap that has done it many times.. ... my friend owns this shop www.1st-try.com... where my swap was performed plus many others.

Not sure about shops. I hang with a Toyota group. Most have done swaps on their Toyotas. Were located in the VA Beach area. Ill look if anyone of them can do it.

Do you have then engine for the swap already? or will it be in the process of being bought. I would recommend a clip since it has everything included already.

i didnt have tools when i started my swap, 120 bucks at loews will get you a kobalt like 125 piece set standard and metric and everything you need for the swap

I'm in Savannh, GA, which is a few hours drive down. You can bring it to me if you like.
