My little work truck needs a new motor. Its a 2.9L V-6. Anyone know of a reputable place to get a rebuilt long block. I'm gonna do the R&R myself. Just need the motor. I'm in the Los Angeles area.

Go to Kragens !!!
Put a 302 in it they weigh about the same, and the 302 will get better milage !!!

Just duck!!!! :rollside: The truck is a 1990. The motor that is in it now has a ton of miles. Still runs like a champ but its got water in the oil. Kinda thinking its an intake leak. Figured it would be a good time to swap it out. I'm up for all options if theres a warranty. Would prefer rebuilt though. Thanks

If lived in AZ. it would already be done. Had a friend with a nice Procharged 5.0 Mustang motor. We were very close to doing it.
