    I had a mechanic willing to do the gen 4 engine to gen 3 body. But bailed out after starting and saying he can’t do it after I brought the gen 4 engine and he took out the engine put everything back. ‍♂️

    Are there any shops who can do the swap in Northern California?

    Hit up Hybrid Pit in Buena Park.
    Tell them Azusa sent you.

    You can also save some cash by using the code azusa on their website.

    I’ve done at least a dozen of these. I wouldn’t mind a trip to northern Cali for vacation. Message me and I’ll do it for you.

    If you want to alert him for sure, prefix his name with "@" symbol, thus:

    @HelloMcFly

    (I've done it there)
