Default sr20det swap

I have had this 1993 240sx for about 3 months now and I am preparing to swap out the ka24de for a sr20det. I know some people in this area have done this swap and was curious as to where they bought the engine, had it shipped, what shop did the work or if they did the swap themselves. Also, If anyone had any recommendations as to what I should do before, during or after the swap.

do your research on your engine supplier. make sure they are easy to contact and sell quality products. www.usedengine.com has THE best SR's. i have had many and not a one had failed yet.

depending on how much you know about general mechanics...the swap is fairly straight forward. take your time = quality. shoddy splicing and crappy parts = no fun.

I was hoping to sell the engine off whole.

Does anyone know of any shops that have done this swap before?

I don't know what part of the state you are in, but http://jgycustoms.com/ is in this area. They have done many many swaps.
