V6 to LS1 Swap

I just bought an LS1, does anyone know where I can get someone to swap them for me in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area?

I apologize if this thread belongs in another category.
I did a search already and didn't find the answers I was looking for.

Do it yourself with a few friends. Sounds like a fun project.

Fuel Injection Specialties, San Antonio, would handle something like that. A little far, but worth it IMO.

do it yourself. the hardest part will be splicing the harness to get the two wires that run the coil packs, instead of the one for each coil pack on the V6. you'll also need to run wires for the air pump since the V6 doesn't have one.

everything else should go pretty easily. get a motor hoist to hold the car up and the motor/tranny will come out of the bottom in one piece.

dont forget modifying the fuel line. thats easy untill you do it wrong and catch your motor on fire.
