Hey All,
Hope someone can help me. I'm considering either replacing my blown engine in my 84 gw with a remanufactured engine or doing a local rebuild. From threads here I learned of some good reman engines (like Jasper) but alot of people recommended getting a good local rebuild shop to do it. Despite the good warranty, I don't want to pay the exorbadent price for a Jasper ($3,100) expecially considering that alot of the components that come with a Jasper (like water pump, fuel pump, hoses, etc) I don't need. I just need a long block to switch into my grand wag. Here's my problem. Never having used a rebuild shop, how do I know whether the rebuild shop is going to do a good job? If anyone can clue me on on what questions I should ask them, or what parts I need to get new, or any other advice, I would appreciate it. By the way, I plan on keeping my jeep for the long haul.
Also, I am trying to find a good reputable shop in south Florida that's been around for awhile. And has anybody had any experience with Powerpro, who wants $1,600 for a 360 longblock.
Thanks much,
Dean
