Its www.srt-4store.com
and they are really cool about things. I ordered my dome leds from them and it was perfect to what they said and looked awesome.
To me that seems like the best idea to do.

Has anyone here on this forum ever had an SRT-4 swap done by that SRT-4store.com?
If i am correct, i believe that they are in philadelphia. I am in new orleans so its about a full day of driving to get there.

mat663: they're in Export, PA, which is about 45 minutes east of Pittsburgh.
to answer the OP's question. No dealer will touch an SRT swap simply because of the liability and cost. A new motor(complete) with new trans, and all of the parts required to perform a swap, all brand new, would cost you over $10k just in the parts alone. To give you an idea, a new shortblock (only the lower rotating assembly like pistons, rods, bearings, crank, balance shaft assembly, oil pan, oil pump), is over $1500-$1700 new, now buy the head, cams, valves, springs, retainers, sprockets, water pump, valve cover, all of the gaskets, timing covers, timing tensioner, power steering pump, AC compressor, AC lines, PS lines, etc etc etc.....it all add's up very quick.
