Default GRC performance good for motor swaps?

what's everyone's opinions on this? i have a gt40 crate motor and tremec 600 needing to be installed.

I'm in north oc and tried calling Xtreme in HB but no answer. Chicane couldn't quote me on labor so I don't know who else local I should try.

thanks guys

GRCperformance is a great shop, but labor is up the *** on prices.... buying parts there are really cheap but labor and what not is alot... also seems to me they also take awhile to finish up cars (or backed up with a bunch of cars) unless the same owners of those cars are needing more done to the car (i've seen this 06 Mustang GT w/ Roush Body Kit) and grc has been working on it for a couple weeks now (not sure what they have done over the past 2weeks except for one thing) installing the twin turbo setup on it. also just an fyi, they are a licensed SCT distributor, but they dont use it because Umberto's ( owner of GRC) friend works for diablosports and he only sells diablo products.

but i have seen them do some 351w swaps onto 94-95 mustangs sooo yeah..

thanks Jeed for the detailed reply. No other shop would get back to me so I just gave in and gave it to GRC. You're right about the labor it's high being it's $85 per hour! He promises it's going to be done right and I'll hold him to it.

I should hopefully get it back in the next few days. I don't wanna hover over them but he knows I want it back.

Oh and you're right about the cars. There's a lot of them there. seems like it's Umberto, another guy , and his wife? that does the entire show.
