Need help finding space to do an engine swap in San Diego
Hi all,
I'm considering doing a full engine swap instead of replacing my cracked #14 head (1987 300TD)... I have a good engine available (actually from a member here, who would help me do the swap if this works out). What I don't have right now is a non-curbside space to do the job (I recently moved to San Diego). I don't think it needs to be covered, but that would be optimal. If anyone can help out or can advise, let me know!! I would be happy to trade for computer/tech consulting/repair/lessons, which is what I'm best at - I'm an aspiring mechanic but have lots to learn. Thanks in advance! Daniel

You might want to check out this place -
They are in Escondido and appear to have all the tools and space you would need. Website - DIY Garage - Full Service or Do It Yourself Auto Repair - Escondido CA No affiliation, never been there, just what I found with a quick Google search. Looks pretty interesting though.

I wish there was one here. I need to swap a trans on my diesel ram.
