Good luck with that. If by somone you mean like a friend of your's then maybe you could, but you'll "almost" never find a shop that will do it for you unless you know the manager/high position techs. I only had 1 shop in my area agree to do it for me and they quoted me $3200, and thats on top of buying the new tranny and parts they would need.

5-speed swap is definatly a do-it-yourselfer

Lol what? $3200 for a 5spd swap? Maybe back in the mid west and east coast. You live in SoCal man. This is where all the swaps are. Hit up elitejdm1, ogliquidmetal or the hunter. They all did their 4 and 6cyl swaps in SoCal. Ogliquidmetal paid about $1500-1700 for a 5spd swap. And he loves it.
