Best built long block on market

Hello, If this subject has been covered and I missed it I'm sorry(newb). I'm looking into getting a new engine for the 4Runner. Since, I really don't have the time to rebuilt it myself. I'm looking into a built long block to stick in to save time due to it being my daily driver. Now, I know about L.C and DOA but if y'all have opinions I'd like to hear them.-Zach

for a performance engine both companies will bend you over. however LC has never done me wrong, and they have a good reputation for quality.

How much do you want to spend? Some of these places have long blocks for $4000.

I picked up a long block from www.sunwestautomotiveengines.com they added a RV cam for $89. Even with the cam and a self install it carries a 30 month 30,000 mile warranty. Also they don't actually charge a core charge as long as you get the old block back to them in 30 days. I have just gotten the motor in and running, so I'm still tweaking but I am 100% pleased with Sunwest. I'm not sure what shipping to FL would cost you but I'd say at least take a look at them...
