Engine rebuilders in the sacramento area?
« on: Oct 17, 2005, 01:15:39 PM »
ANyone know of a good shop in the sacramento area for rebuilding engines?  Specifically, the 3.0 v6?  Yes, I know, dump the motor and go to something else, but I cant right now.   need a good, and fairly cheap shop :yupyup:  I'm tired of buying private engines, that dont run for :pokinit: 

The engine I just dropped in is showing the same symptoms as the one I just pulled out :_oops:

what do you think your budget is for this rebuild?

maybe you are going to spend as much as a 2.7 swap any way?  :smack:

Mikey said he did his for about 1K  (of corse I'm sure he had some help from some of the ppl in "daddy's" shop! 0

As cheap as possible.  I've already got smoe rebuilt heads, so I'm thinking of having a shop rebuild the bottom end, and then putting them together.

I wish I had the possibility of help, and of course, mike's genius when it comes to wiring :yikes:  Also, unfortunately, I'd have to get another tranny, and this one works ok for now.
