Engine Rebuild

A friend of mine has 95 F150 5.0 that is in need of a total rebuild. Anyone know of any trustworthy shops in Southern California that he could take this to? He lives in the Orange County area....

Thanks guys!

Most shops don't really either give a warranty...or it's a huge ordeal to even deal with a warranty if something happens.

You can look into something like a Japser rebuilt engine, they have big warranties but they're not really that great of an engine.

A local shop to you is a good choice. Not the cheapest but you can atleast go there and work with the guy on any issues that might come up. Can't do much from a phone in most cases.

You could also buy a crate motor too...
