LS Swap Estimate in Atlanta Area (Who Does Swaps)
I'm wanting to price out an LS swap into my GTA Convertible and was wondering who does good work in the Atlanta area?

Hawks would be a good choice, if you have to stay local MTI or Vengeance.

DO NOT USE MTI. They will way overcharge and aren't getting good reviews lately.

Vengance said they only build engines now, no more swaps. They recommended Hot Rod Revolution and they seemed interested at first but its now been almost a week and no more contact. I am visiting shops now to go ahead and pull the trigger on this thing I just want to have a good feeling with whomever I choose and not contacting me back is not a good way to get my business. Maybe its SEMA coming up cause I talked with BulldawgMuscleCars in Acworth and they said they couldnt meet with me until next week because of SEMA so Ill see them next week. They have 6 LS swaps they are working on right now. Ive got a guy closer to me in Hampton, Ga that can do it Ill visit him this Friday. Im getting figity cause I am ready to make a move but I want the Ts crossed and the Is dotted before moving forward. I only want to send my car off like this once.
They were on my list to call but I have not yet. Maybe Ill just mark them off then.
I talked to Hawks, they are the most expensive so far but I know they do good work but still they are at least 25% more than everyone else.

There are several Hawk's swaps every year at the F-Body Gathering each Memorial Weekend in Marietta. They do nice work!

Was not aware that Vengeance was no longer doing swaps, but I know the other two know the car very well, as well as the engine. Not aware of bad reviews from MTI, but if you are concerned talk to one of the guys and take a look around the shop, have not gotten service there but appears top notch as far as I am concerned..
Curious to see where you end up going and what your quotes were. Keep us posted, and good luck!
