Default Hemi swap motor mount question

Thinking of doing a Hemi swap in my future. I'm not totally ignorant to a motor swap, as I used to have a 68 Camaro and swapped the motor myself... I also have a third vehicle I can drive while the Jeep is laid up. My problem is that I have ZERO experience welding. Are there welders for hire that will come to my house to do the job, or am I resigned to paying someone full cost of install?

Yes, there are people you can make friends with that are damn good welders. I usually pay my welder in beer. But then again he is my neighbor.

didn't even think about that... great idea, thanks!
