I talked to this guy, I gave him a list of shops that were listed on Bdub site, but he claims no one does engines. and keeps turning him away.

I did send him Jim Hupys email, but who knows.

so maybe this is a deal for someone on the west coast? but sounds like the guy has money and willing to pay for s+J engine, and install. or he is full of it?

Jim Hupy would be the one I would choose.

thought maybe Jim knew more shops, not necessary do the engine. Sounds like he is 10 out of 10 shops declining to do an engine swap on the gmc. for sure the 3 that were listed on the gmc site, I guess they will do other work, but not an engine.

He can't leave it parked where it is, so someone might be able to get this GMC at a discount, but who knows.

I do engines. But not rapid turn a round. Currently not taking any more
coaches due to upcoming surgery. Need an aortic valve. Open chest, long
recovery. We will see what next year does.
