your engine. we need it.

What we need for you to send in…..

We need the LONG BLOCK assembly. Valve cover, cylinder head, block, oil pan and of course, all of the internals. It’s got to be from the same year range (1985-1995) and the same type of oil pan (2wd or 4wd). Missing / damaged parts can get pricy, real fast. Let’s make sure it gets sent with your original pallet.

Remove ALL external parts. Yes. All of them. We don’t want your distributor, exhaust manifold, intake manifold, knock sensor…..etc. It’s a good thing that you (or your installing shop) will be removing all of that stuff, it’ll stick in your head where those items will go on your rebuilt engine. It will also give you plenty of time to clean any of that stuff you are going to re-install. You won’t want to install that dirty stuff on the fresh engine. Right?!!???

“But, what if my core is no good?”

It’s rare that ALL rebuildable parts are bad at the same time. We do have a few “spares” of items if yours are beyond service limits. Once the engine hits us and Jim tears it down for inspection and all is good, we’ll keep rolling. If something on your core is not usable, we’ll give you a heads up and let you know the core “cost” that will be added onto your build total.

“no, I mean, what if there is a hole in mine and I already know it isn’t usable?”

In that case, we’d recommend hunting down another core engine to send to us. Paying the freight to get us a known “ventilated” block and bad crank engine will get expensive for you, real quick.
