Engine swap NJ

Can anyone recommend a shop in Central NJ for an engine swap?

I'm looking to have the motors in my 2 Oldsmobiles swapped. I have a worked 350/350 in my '72 Cutlass Supreme. I want to swap them into my '70 442 and have that 350/400 put into my '72. The 442 has headers, no a/c and the '72 has a/c, no headers. My regular mechanic was going to do it but has been swamped as of late. I've been waiting for a few months and I'd like to move this forward. Checking my options.....

My guy could probably do a straight swap, but he's in Warminster, PA.

I race at ETown, so it's not that far

Joe (Oldsmaniac) did one for a guy in NJ within the past year, but I'm not sure whether he'd be interested in repeating that experience.

Thanks but I was really hoping to find some place within 10 miles. There's certainly a place, just wondering if someone could recommend before I start checking into places.
Next time you're heading to etown, shoot me a note. I live about 15 mins away....and I LOVE Englishtown!

Thanks Eric. I was following that thread for awhile but it seemed that turned into a fiasco. Mine should be a relatively "easy" swap (Olds 350 to Olds 350. I'm thinking the difficulty will lie with unbolting the respective exhausts)...but I'm sure I'm wrong

East Brunswick is 1 town to my west. It's nice over there.
I love going to Raceway Park, aka Englishtown or ETown, whenever I can. I really enjoy going with 1 or both of my sons. It's quite expanded since 1978. They've got the 1/4, 1/8, road course (where they offer exotic rentals or race-what-you-brung), a go-cart course and a motocross course and practice track for the dirt bikes.

One of these years I might go to one of my High school reunions at Vo-Tech and visit. I practically lived at Englishtown during racing season.

Hope you find someone to help you out.

I still kick myself for not buying a light green 67 Delmont coupe that was for sale at Englishtown years ago when I still lived up there.
