Need Engine Rebuild Recomendation
We have 4 trucks, 95 F150 XLT, 95 Ford Bronco 4X4 351v8, 86 Ford Bronco, 82 Chevy Blazer. Well the problem is the 82 Blazer. The engine blew last year, my son saved for 6 months to save the 2k to replace the engine, well we took it to Big A Auto on MLK in seffner (brandon area). We checked the BBB and they didnt have any complaints, and havd been in Business of like 20 years. well let me tell you they now have a Bad report with the BBB and the police department.
They put an engine from 85 montecarlo with only 75k miles. well after 6 weeks and 2k it was ready. picked up the "Beast" and on the way home the engine blew. we had to pay to tow back to shop. They rebuilt it 6 weeks later, picked up and it ran for 5 days, before it broke down, they replaces the pistons. after 3 weeks, picked up and rean for 2 weeks, then started throwing up oil. took back. the fixed again, well after running for 4 weeks, and the 90 warrenty running out. the engine has blown again, the refuse to fix. and along with all this, they stole the header plugs and wires, and the 2 day old 1000 dollar stereo system out of the truck. went to the police had car printed and had the owner and coworker arrested, got back the system and money for new one. Needless to say, It need to be rebuilt or another engine, we are afraid to take it any where else. I am asking for a reliable (tried and true) mechanic that can fix my son baby. My son is selling his motorcycle to get her fixed. the bike is in my gallary. please help us find a place to take the "Beast" to. We have been through hell with her and need to get her fixed.

I am a mechanic at home now and have lots of referances I can give you. I have worked on just about everything. If you are interested in trading the bike for the work we can work that into the deal as well. You would have to get the truck here. Please let me know if you are intersted in meeting and talking about this. I have built motors for my hot rods for years. Friends hot rods as well....
