Central jersey: Can anyone swap my car to a v8?

Hey everyone...Ive got an 86 2.8...rough, but i want to put a 305 in it. Problem is, i live in an apartment and i cant go pulling motors out in the parking lot. So can anyone, shop, personal, IDC, do a v8 swap for me? I have a 305 for now, with a carb, i can get a camaro v8 700r4, motor mounts, i basically have a friend with an entire parts car with a tbi 305. So can anyone help me out? im willing to pay and can get all the parts together beforehand...just let me know/name a price. Im in long branch NJ, 07740

Great guy he is out to give you the best bang for the buck. He just loves his job. before I even met him I talked with him over the phone he talked just as If i was a good friend of his and when he first saw my car he quickly pointed out something that was wrong and it was so small. Then he made a joke why do all this work why not just get an LS1

Re: Central jersey: Can anyone swap my car to a v8?

sounds like a good dude. Id like to talk to him also because this is the line of the work that i want to get into. First i have to learn how to fix everything first though haha. does he have a dyno or machine tools or is he like a DIY guy? I need a set of heads done for now

I agree, he is a great guy. He installed my subframe connectors and replaced leaky intake gaskets and some other stuff. I would never take my car anywhere else again.
