If you want a good 3.0L, either learn to build it yourself with the help of a good machine shop, or take it to someone who really knows the engine... maybe a dealer tech who will build it as a side job.

The 3.0L is a good engine, but it does have some unforgiving assembly issues on rebuild that re-manufacturers don't seem able (or willing) to overcome. It takes a lot of time and effort to rebuild that engine well.
