Does anyone know any good garages around the chicago land area that are familiar with swaps? I am looking to buy and older civic and put a b18 into it. Does anyone know of any that might do it cheaper than others?

couple of good well known places that do these swaps in the area would be garage kwai and whip factory...one6 will do it also...i say take it to benson @ kwai

do not...i mean DO NOT take it to GRD even though you live close to them...those bastards suck...they only worry about their audis and wrxs

my buddy is opening up his shop next to whip factory soon called import lab and he does swaps also...many many places to choose from...and all places i listed does very good work

^ All the guys there are total boners and I have a feeling they do crappy work to car that thhey are not fond of. I have no doubt they do good work on wrxs and audis, but if I came in with a civic they would just dog me.
