Reputable Hotrod Performance Shops in the Northwest... for LS engine Swaps
I know Tom Wong in Vancouver does awesome work "tuning" LS engines… but what if a guy needed the help of a professional shop to do an LS engine swap to a Mid Year Corvette? Where could he take his car in confidence, for professional quality work?

The three shops near Seattle are Brad's Corvette & Mustang, Carb Connection and Corvettes of Auburn. I don't have any specific experience with any of them but those are three worth researching.
Why not use Tom to do the swap? He can do mechanical work too but prefers tuning.

I purchased my 02 ZO6 with LS3 conversion from the owner of "Modern Classics Auto Service" located in the Portland metro area. From what I've seen on my car he does good work. Not sure how his prices compare as I didn't pay direct for this type of work.
I also met and talked to another customer that has a C6 with LS3 conversion done by this shop and he seemed to be very satisfied. Apparently he lost his original motor and after having the LS3 installed Steve, the shop owner, liked it so much he did his track prepped C5 next.
