Greetings Peeps. Total n00b questions here - forgive my ignorance.
Can anyone confirm weather or not a Honda Dealership would perform an engine swap? (I know I'm gonna get shafted on labor)
Or would it be specific to the Dealer? Does anyone know where to find a listing of Performance Shops by location?
I've taken a lot of guff from my dealer for the I/E mods I have on my Civic and I'm trying to avoid asking them this question.
Again, forgive me for asking what you all may think is a stupid/simple question but I have nowhere else to turn.
In my area there are about 40,000 people who can add a 15 foot wing or install a body kit but no one seems to know there's a big clunky metal thing under the hood with wires and hoses!!! :shakehead: :banghead:
Why not DIY you ask? Well, the mods I've done have just about stretched the limit of my knowledge/time/resources and my biggest problem - I have no place to actually do the work, nor do I have any tools or access to them.
Just starting out so I don't really know anyone/anything.
Any help/suggestions are appreciated!!!
Basic info:
2000 Civic EX Coupe -
AEM V2 intake
Tanabe exhaust
2003 Civc Si HB -
*planned* complete Type R conversion
(or as close as possible) :grinyes:

the dealer will do the swap, it will just cost you an arm and a leg. Try to ask around and see if you can find a performance shop that will do the swap.
