    Engine rebuilder/jdm engine help

    I’m new to Toyota vans i bought this just for surf trips. I’m wondering if there is a Jdm engine that will go right in (if so a company in wa state that sells them) or a reliable shop to rebuild my current engine.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    If this has already been covered can you send me the thread please.

    Depending on the year , you can get a new 3y or 4y engine. They still make them for industrial use , so it shouldn’t be hard to find a new block.

    Bud's Machine Shop in Lakewood for a rebuild. Not van specific, but a damn good machine shop. Just don't tell them you're not in a hurry.....
