OK, I've decided on an engine rebuilder but that is all they do. Does anyone know of a reliable, reputable shop which can remove and install my engine. Again, I'm in Burbank, CA. Thanks, Rick

If you can't take the engine out yourself, ask Bogus see if he'll do it. Maybe he still need some extra income
