    LS1 swap shop needed in Houston

    Due to the recent demise of my '01 Silverado daily driver(Pics below) I may be moving my '88 Camaro project car off the back burner and into the daily driver status. I seem to be in need of a reputable shop in the Houston area that has done many LS1/T-56 swaps. Can anyone recomend one or two?

    update

    I spoke with the insurance adjuster and she can't give me a final answer on if the truck is totaled, but she said its gona be close. I'm thinking about swaping an all alum 5.3 from like a trailblazer or isuzu ascender and a T-56. Since my Camaro will be a daily driver and MPG's will mater I thought the smaller cubes would be more efficient. Later I could add a STS remote turbo for extra kick. What do yall think.

    I cant weigh in with any shops, but I want to wish you good luck on your truck and with the insurance company. It looks like you got into a beef with a ditch witch. It will be a close call though. I wish you the best.
