Looking for remanufactured engine, considering two rebuiilders:

 Jasper Engines    < www.jasperengines.com > and
 West L.A. Engine  <  www.wla-engine.com >

West L.A Engines quoted around $1270 with a 3yr./unlimited mile warranty.
Jasper quoted $1831 with a 3yr./75,000 warranty.  These are longblocks.

Do one or the other use better parts and that is the difference in price.
I know the old saying,  "you get what you pay for". What would you do?

Ask both to give you a written list of parts and processes used
in rebuilding your engine.    Based on that information, get the
engine you think will be least likely to need warranty service:
enforcing a warranty is a lot of grief no matter who issued it.

Consider finding a rebuilder near your home who will provide the
same quality of parts and workmanship as the other two.   Then
if you ever need warranty service you can personally deliver the
defective engine in a pickup bed instead of shipping it by rail.

Good luck.
