I am in need of having my bottom end rebuilt or replaced. Where is the best place to have this done on a budget? I'm not going with forged parts or anything, just going back to stock. Any ideas or suggestions?

Well respected local engine rebuilder.
always get engine built local if you can.
That way you have someone to go back to if problems.
Hard to crate up an engine and send it back for "warranty" work

1989 Mustang - LX Vert - 351W-TT - 2inches of dust covering it
2012 Raptor - 497rwhp at 10psi
If you aint breaking - you aint going fast enough
The only local people I would trust would be the dealership. I live in a pretty rural area and I guess that is my only option. Or do it myself

definitely wouldnt use the stealership.
There are no performance engine builders with-in 1-2 hour drive ?
2hr drive would suck, but only gonna have to do it couple of times.

how about find a good used one?
2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
412 Motorsports
it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
That may be an option too. Are there any companies or shops that build shortblocks at reasonable prices?
