Default Reputable shop to purchase a swap

Well I've been on the fence about keeping my sc300 and I finally decided that I need to do a swap and keep it

I'm considering either doing a 1jz or 2jz swap. i was hoping for some recommendations or personal stories for the shops you've purchased from and who you would recommend buying a swap from. I plan on doing the swap myself and sending the harness out to Tweak to get done.

I'm in the orlando area, would love to keep it local but don't mind driving a little.

Thanks,
Gene
