Getting the Wheeling Fever
It's come time for the 4Runner to get a new lease on life. Can anyone recommend a reliable engine builder in the Tacoma, WA area? I'm looking for a place that will do the entire job start to finish.
I've come across a few online but they have terrible feed back from some supposed customers.

Oh, John's Foreign Engines, AKA 22R/RE.biz? Yeah, he sux. Dishonest.

www.engnbldr.com might be able to point you to a good shop. They're just down the road across the river.

I've gotten a couple engines from Sunwest Automotive just outside Spokane in the past; nice folks.

I haven't heard anything bad about these two and they both offer HI-PO versions as well.

That second one is Sunwest Automotive. Medical Lake is just west of Spokane past the airport. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure Tod ebays any complete rebuilds out of the EB shop if Ted and Le are out fishin' these days.
