SR20DET 510 swap shop?

Hey guys,

I finally got a decent job, and I'll finally be able to start funding the restoration and supe-ification of my 510 - however, since I'll be working so much and living down here without a garage or without even a street to work on, much less no tools to work with - I'd like to find a decent shop that would be willing to do the dirty work of the swap. I would be able to get the kit and the engine, but I need someone that could do the hard bits like the intake manifold, exaust, driveline, and the mind numbing task of wiring - much of which needs to be modified or completely fabricated.
Anyone know any dependable shops?

my friend wants to do the same exact swap, sorry i dont know any shops,

LIC on here does more than just Subaru swaps. Im sure the SR20 is one of the top 3 swaps, and if you have the bolt in engine mounts that they sell for your 510 it should be no prob, but if they have to fabricate it then i dont know.

Yeah, they sell kits with all the mounting hardware, however - the turbo is right where the steering box is, so a custom intake manifold needs to be fabricated, as well as exaust and all the goodies like that.
