Regina Engine Rebuilders

Hi Everyone,

I've recently purchased a 1989 Bronco with engine troubles. The vehicle is in really nice shape inside and out, but the motor does need some work.

I did a compression test and found that the #8 cylinder has no compression. Next, I pulled the head and found the #8 piston burned and melted. Looks like its time to pull the engine and have it rebuilt.

I'd love to hear about good engine rebuilders or places to buy a new/reman long block in the Regina area.

Thanks all!

I know a few guys that have dealt with Continental Engine Rebuilders and thought they were okay. If you are interested I have a 302 but, it has a carb. It is out of a early 80's cougar supposed to have about 125,000kms.

I was looking at continental, nice to hear about good results.

Thanks for the offer of your engine, but this is going to be my DD, so I want to go new/rebuilt with it.

If the re builder is any good they won`t be cheap but hopefully at least some what reasonable.
