8. Custom Remanufacture of YOUR Engine


To estimate the total average number of days it will take for the engine to be trucked to us, for us to custom remanufacture it, and then ship it back to you, double the number of days listed below next to your state, then add 5 days for remanufacturing time**.

There are significant advantages to having your own engine remanufactured


   1. Save fifty bucks off of our regular longblock prices.

   2. No core deposit assessed like with exchange engines.

   3. It ends the search. Decades ago there was a handful of different engines to put into America's cars. Modern manufacturing has brought rapid mid-year improvements, imports and variations resulting in the thousands. There is a need for so many different engines that no single company can have them all or even most of them.

   4. We can make absolutely certain that what we sell you fits perfectly in your car or truck. Mid year production changes and many different minor differences make engine ordering somewhat risky. Sometimes Vin codes seem to be just a general guideline. Older cars can have absolutely anything under the hood other than what they should have. For example: In 1997 a previous owner of your 1988 car had a 1983 junkyard engine installed. If you order a 1988 engine for your 1988 car by mistake you will find out that it doesn't fit. The unpleasant truth is that there is a whole bunch of ways to make the wrong engine sorta fit or kinda work.

   5. We can help diagnose the primary cause of engine failure and other secondary causes of internal damage. (So you or your mechanic can keep it from happening again… Cuz, really folks, most engines don't die on their own from wear. They die from transmission torque converter ballooning and from leaking fuel injectors flooding cylinders and from defective E.G.R valves and from excessively lean carburetors and from clogged catalytic converters and filters . Dig?)



  • The most important thing we can offer you is reliability as a natural result of efficient and systematic procedures. D.S.

How to Ship...

...Ship Shape

1. Get a skid at least as pretty as this one. If you buy one, don't pay more than $5.

2. Now you don't have to be this fancy to strap your core engine down but it sure makes it easy. This set of  four came from Sam's Club and was about $13. We will send them back with the fresh engine.

Dog chain works too.

3. It might be a good idea to nail some two-by fours around the block so it doesn't slide around under the straps. Oh, yeah. Don't forget to get ALL the oil and water out of the engine before it goes on the truck.


4. Call us the day before the engine can be ready first thing in the morning. Roadway almost always picks up the next day or same day if you call early enough.


5. Now, you have to get the engine-on-the skid on the 48 inch tall truck bed using one of four methods.


1. Forklift from a truck dock.

(ha! Fat chance)


2. If you still have the cherry-picker, chain fall or come-along, use that. (lift from the engine block or heads with the skid dangling)


3. You might call your local ROADWAY terminal to see if they have a lift gate truck available but be prepared to pay a little extra for the special treatment.


4. One way or another, get it on the back of a pickup truck and take it to the local terminal so a forklift can easily remove it You might save a few bucks off of the shipping charges too.


If it makes it any easier to handle, it's OK to remove the cylinder head(s). Just make sure we get ALL the longblock parts. It's just as important to not send us anything extra either as we may assume you don't want it anymore and we will throw it away.
