LS Swap shop recommendations

[still2slik]

hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any shop recommendations for an LS swap in the GTA (greater toronto area). Im not looking to spend an arm and a leg. i spoke to a shop last year that said they can do it for 10-12, but i lost their contact. Anyone here have any recommendations? Thanks for your time and consideration.

There's simply no way a shop is doing a turn key LS swap for anything remotely close to that with everything working. Most turn key LS swaps with everything working correctly are in the $25k US range.

The parts alone, not including engine, for a K swap are $10k and that uses the stock gearbox. An LS swap will need a much stronger gearbox that will be upwards of $5k alone.

If you're doing it for a pure race car and it doesn't need PS, and can run a racepak type dash instead of having the stock one work you can save a bit, but it still won't be cheap.

If you want a shop that'll do excellent work and has experience with lots of swaps, contact NV Auto outside Hamilton.

+1 for NV Auto, but it will be well over the 10-12k budget unless you're somehow getting the parts for free.99 and don't care about power steering, ac, oem dash, or chassis harness integration.
