Attention NY guys

Hello,
I am new to this board. I have searched but couldn't get the answer i was looking for.

my questions are regarding the swap oviously.

In NY, how much should I look to spend for the the just engine and the tranny swap(mounted) [i can carry on the rest myself].

Where in NY can i get this done?

When i buy the engine and tranny from ebay should i be worried about any internal problems. Example, Should i be carbon build up around the valves and/or on the pistons. What action should I if assumed that there are carbon build up?

I'll post more on this thread if i have question.
Thank you

Edit: sr20det in to 92+ model 240sx......Long island, NY

Where in NY?
What engine?
Maybe I can help you with this whole thing, I am in Albany. I know a few places that do swaps and a few that sell engines.

My AIM is jonpowellsRB25 if you are interested.

If you are looking on the package deal page..then yeah it includes install and all the items listed...

Click on swap packages if not.

Remember, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

If you would like to talk about other options in the NY area, get ahold of me on AIM or email.

by the way you will not be able to pass emmisions after you do the swap, not in NY anyway.

Yeah if you do the swap in the city, it will not pass emissions...

Up here in Albany county there is a safety check and they scan the CEU for OBD2 cars, but no actual sniffer.

Yea, thanks guys, i'm not really worried about the emmission. if they have sniffer then i'm just gonna bold on a strong catalytic converter or else i have other ways.

as far as if your planing on putting in an SR you can do that yourself if you planned on doing all the rest of the work yourself. if you want a shop near heavythrottle is very close
