I would agree with the already stated comments you need to have done several projects yourself before anyone will trust you to work on theirs. Most custom shops start with one thing and branch out from there.

Pick a specialty and go with it, for example I just purchased a custom exhaust for a 97 Landcrusier the shop emspowered.com started with a guy that was on the Toyota forum that made a system for himself and a friend tested came out with a better design and solda few to people on the forums. Several years pass he still has his jig and builds them he has branched out and does other LC and Mr2 items. emspowered.com is who I am talking about look at their site and you can see the pattern of where they started and where they are now.

Maybe start with a normal shop doing basic repairs call it an Eco-tune and have your EV project or Bio project in progress. Make sure you know your state laws, some states don't allow motor swaps like that. In my area you must guarntee inspection after doing a motorswap.

Good luck to you
