Title: Looking for mechanic in OR or WA for engine swap
Post by: mightyshocks on August 15, 2020, 12:27:08 pm
New member here! Been using the info on these boards for years and I appreciate it all. I'm driving an '81 Caddy with a 1.6L with a recently blown head gasket. I finally pulled the trigger on a 1.9NA from Quality German Auto Parts. I've done a lot for this truck but I'm not confident in my time or space to do the swap myself (I live in a city and have no garage or driveway). I was wondering if any of yall could recommend a mechanic - either formal or informal - in the Oregon or Southern Washington area? All my usual shops are booked out 6 weeks minimum. If it was an informal arrangement I'd be happy to help out and do the work alongside someone. I realize it's not the most difficult swap but I still have a lot of questions. Thanks much
