Default Where to buy a rebuilt engine?
So, I'm not sure yet, but it's beginning to look like I may need to buy another engine for this damn car. I just want to go with a regular 2.5 street engine I think. Where can I buy a rebuilt longblock that has a good warranty? I know places like Lindsey, Powerhaus, etc build engines, but are there any places that maybe don't do all the performance mods that will have better prices without sacrificing quality? Anyone have any experiences?

I don't think you will find anyone building a 951 engine and keeping it on the shelf. Since you are in NY, I strongly recommend you contact Chris White. He's an expert on the 951 and his prices are reasonable.

You might want to try Vertex. Talk to Gilbert.
