Looking for a shop

I am looking for a shop in NC or somewhere close by that is reliable enough to do a built engine swap. Anyone know of such a place. I am located in the Triangle Area. Any suggestions?

I know a guy that goes there all the time that has one of the fastest Mustangs in NC. They do all his work and let him strap to the dyno anytime. FastlaneMotorsports does it all...Don't have any contact names for people that work there, but my buddy is Seth Hayes...He's featured on the website...Blown04GT

If you could get some contact info that would help a lot because the website (fastlanmotorsports.com) was not much help at all

never heard of the place. If you like Phantasm near downtown raleigh i know they can do it. They overcharge like hell though. Car tunes near crossroads across from grand asia market in cary prolly cant do it but talk to some of the mechanics they'll prolly know. A lot of workers there have swapped motors. Oh and honda in cary i think will do it cuz they sold a 7thgen si w/ type r motor.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I went to phantasm to get my fog lights installed and they screwed that up. The guy said that he had some new guy working on it, but when he fixed it they still are not exactly right. Needless to say i am not feeling too comfy with them doing my swap. My issue could have been a freak thing, i don't know. I just don't feel to good about doing any major installs there.

Wouldn't it be better to get it done at acura dealer rather than honda because of the deal with the keys?
