If you know how to do it. You might as well try.
It's sometimes better to trust your friend...or some guy you know(?).

nah actually my friend has been going to this mechanic for a few years and he has yet to do anything that would cause my friend to distrust him, but i mean the fact that hes in a little gas station and hes going to be doing something as big as an engine swap makes me confsed [:@]

I mod xbox's, but I work at a Pawn shop....sometimes people with skills do stuff on the side to make tax-free money....if your friend trusts him, and thinks he can do it fine, its worth a shot I guess.
Probably cheaper than taking it to a tuner shop...

Many years ago I went to Branson, Mo. As we were going north to head home my car just quit. It was Sat or Sun and their were no major shops open. A guy who knew a guy called him and we we towed by a decrepid tow truck to a little gas/junk yard with scrap all over the place. The rest room was 2 inches deep in water. This mechanic(? )immediately pulled my distributor , diagnosed the wire from the points out to the coil had shorted where it left the distributor, called for a replacement, and we were on our way in 2 hours total. Cost including tow-$70. Try that today. You never know.
