hi,

I have a rusty bus with a good 2.0 engine and a non-rusty bus with no engine. I need someone to swap the engine and I live in san jose, california.

Is there anyone who is interested or knows someone who they can recommend? I have been looking for a shop but they all want over $700 to do it. That seems kind of expensive but I may be wrong.

Please let me know or forward this to other sites that might be able to help me.

Thanks, Terry

is really easy.i can walk you step by step.e mail me at [email protected]
$700 is a rip off!!!!!.,here to help;danny
ps; you will need 2 (3 tons towers), the heavy and good ones a 3 1/2 or over jack.you will need to raise the back of the bus about 28 inches or so.lift it to the max and put the towers very secure and add some support to the bus for safety.if you think is easy e mail and i'll be here to keep on with your problem.one very good advice is to mark or take pictures off the engine before you take it down for reference.let me know;danny
