| What would be a short list of recommended re-manufactured crate engine providers for a 2002 Eurovan (VR6)? |

I’m not sure you can still get a crate AXK new but good used will run $2-4k plus shipping

Yep - didn't mean new. Rebuilt is what I was referring to.
What rebuilders would be recommended? |

Are there any even? Rebuilding engines is mostly a thing of the past, outside of vintage and high performance applications. There are fewer and fewer shops equipped with the knowledge and tools to do this work, likewise with machine shops.
I just did a quick survey of engine parts on RockAuto, and bearings, pistons and such don't seem to be available. I'm sure if you hunted hard enough you could scare most of that stuff up, but the reasonable solution here is to find a used low mileage unit and rock on. |
