Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend and garage or a mechanic that would be able to do a engine swap. The current engine in the car is a 2.0 m20 engine and the engine going in is a 2.5 m20. iv got all the bits (ecu/wiring loom etc etc) and i know that this is a straight swap.

I was orginally thinking of doing it my self but i just dnt have the time or place to do it.

Im based in West London near heathrow

Thanks in advance!

It will be worth a bit of extra effort to travel as Ant is a top bloke to do your work, very experianced with all things E30.

Lots of people on here know Ant's good reputation, i wouldn't want you to get ripped off at a garage you were unsure of.
