Rudy Compart (his company: Speedriven) in Illinois has done the swap for several other Forum members such as amx1397 (Jim).
You'll have to deliver the car to his location for the work, he's the best for this type of swap.
Good Luck.....

Just to clarify a few things here...

Rudy (
rcompart) does not own the company in Illinois called Speedriven
He did work there for a short time years ago but now he is employed by Mercedes Benz in the north suburbs of Chicago,

He is the expert on V8 swaps in our Crossfires but he is now married and has a child and I'm not even sure he has the time to take on these projects anymore
