Default Good engine builder in SoCal?

I need my 2jzge rebuilt I need to get running like new. Anyone know a person or place where I can get this done possibly get it ready for a na-t setup. The closer to the inland empire the better.

Yeah to swap it would be cheaper but then to get it to go singal turbo would be more expensive in the long run

if you swap it and go single turbo later, it would still be cheaper..im running na-t and it took me over a year and well over 12-14k to get it running right..take my word and swap....if your in the 714 area i'll show you my gs and you can compare...

Well I'm in the 909 area and really? I find that hard to believe if you don't mind pm me as to why it's cheaper...I kind of find that hard to believe since I would have to open up the 2jzgte and build the internals on it also. I would rather just open up my 2jzge and build those internals. But thanks for the heads up I'll look more into the swap.
