    Nor Cal Shop for s52 swap?

    Anyone know of a good one? I have called around to several places but havent had much luck. Would also consider socal if there are no good alternatives up here.

    PS: anyone know the shop that metrix uses to do the swaps?

        Schatz and Krum in Sacramento has done a couple, and helped me clear a few hurdles when I did mine. 916-381-3144, ask for Stu, and tell him Carl referred you

            It appears A1 has an S14 into a 2002, so they must be E30 friendly.

              here is a quote from their page

              Custom Fabrication

              From small parts to welding to full-scale engine conversion projects, A-1 is the place to go. Owner JP handles all custom projects personally and has the inventiveness and expertise to see them through successfully. Recent BMW 2002 projects have included S14 (from E30 M3), and M20 (from E30 325i) engine conversions, rear disc brakes, and Megasquirt custom fuel injection systems.

              before my 2002 got f**ked, i was going to have them put a 5 speed and a s14 in it...
              it was a sad day when it got hit!

                        He knows his shit inside out and backwards. Every car that guy touches comes out *perfect*

                          i would suggest RyanG as mentioned above.

                          i have also offered to do the swap for a couple e30 guys for a hefty fee, but i dont have the space at this time.

                            It could be done in say 30 beers time. Get me the parts and i could make it happen. haha
