Question Looking for shop in Arlington, Tx. for engine swap.

I have a 1994 Chevy C1500 with a 4.3L, that I want to swap out.
I was thinking of going with an LS1, but will consider LM7, LQ4, LQ9, or something comparable.
Anyone know of a good shop in my area?
If not, then am I correct to assume that Nelson Performance, in San Antonio, can do an engine swap?

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

TIA.

I'd check with Billy or Dustin at TRT Performance. They've done all of my work and their prices are very fair. I think the webiste is trtperformance.com...

You could go with TRT, Speedtek, or Larrys automotive. They all do LS conversions and are local. Allen at Nelson is also a good choice if you dont mind taking it down there.

If you have to spend 4-5K out of pocket to get a convertion done wouldnt you be better off buying a 99+ for the same difference in cash out?Now if you hated the new body then I can understand it.
