    would you let wreckers do a conversion for u?
    or take the engine/gearbox to mechanic/performence shop for the conversion?

    Get A Engine Builder / Qualified Mechanic To Do The Conversion Man Then There At Fault If There Are Issues.

    A Wrecker Is Good For One Thing Thats Pulling Out Parts And Selling Em At Profit Not Swapping Over A Ls1. If Its A 202 Or Simple Engine And There Lagit Maybe But Still Its Ur Investemt.
    Cheers.
