Remanufactured Engine Sources

[InfiniteGrade]

I'm looking to purchase an '83 Bronco with the 300I6 in it that supposedly does not run very well for a decent price. I've been looking around for various choices for getting the engine rebuilt/a new engine in it.

Online, I have found Rhino Engines. They have a 3yr/100,000 mile warranty on them. The price is around 1550 + 125Core. Does anyone have any positive or negative experience with these guys?

Also, there's the Shucks/Kragen/Checker route. Their engine will run about $1650 (after core return) and have a 3yr/36000mi warranty. The 36000 vs 100,000 miles is really irrevelant to me since there's just no way I'll get close to 36,000 miles in 3 years.

Or for that price, is it best just to get it rebuilt locally?

Thanks

i would suggetst finding someone local with aa good reputation. that way if some thing does go wrong with it still under warranty it wont take as long to get fixed.

well, whatever you do do not order from a place online called Faster 5.0, they have the worst service ever, took like 5 months to get my 351w

I concer with TX_Beast. I have dealt with my machine shop for building engines for years and tried the others. Getting the warranty part from out of town sucks. They won't give you anything if you have to replace thier broke engine. On the other hand your local guys can fix it in or replace it or pay you to do it if they are so inclined or if you are a auto repair shop such as I/we are.
