Bay Area diesel mechanics

[86F3504x4]

Does anyone know of any diesel mechanics or shops in the Bay Area that can do an engine swap?
I don't have the space or overhead lift to do it and will have to pay to have it done.
I'm planning on getting a used engine from a wrecking yard to replace my tired 6.9 in my 86 f350.
I'm in the Northbay (Marin)
Thanks!

I IM'd Calvin to see if he could shed some light on the situation.

Two good choices for this kind of work.

That's awful generous Brian. You got one hell of a shop and are always willing to help others out including myself .

theres a place in concord, called Left Coast Diesel.
they will only time your truck by ear.

there has to be a decent place in petaluma.
but i only go out there for pre 64 car shows.

Santa Rosa diesel '+ $200.00 to time your idi!
The lower buy in price on e pay for a meter!
Reluctantly!
And NO I do not endorse them.
My vp runs a custom shop, can do that but he is in napa 94558.

$200.00 for timing our engines is highway robbery. For that price I would demand a reach around and dinner...
