Good shop for engine rebuild near Denver

I have a '91 22RE that has just started leaking oil. I think the main seal is going, but I am about ready for a new clutch, anyway. The poor 22RE is tired, needs quite a bit of work...

I am thinking about rebuilding the whole engine, but it is my daily driver and I do not have time to do it myself.

Would anyone know of any GOOD, REPUTABLE shops in the south Denver, Littleton, Parker area to do a rebuild? Or install another engine and take my core?

I had a 2.3 head rebuilt by Heads By Paul in Englewood and they did a pretty good job. Supposedly they do good machine work. Past that, I dunno, and I couldn't tell you who does good work as far as replacing engines, clutches, because I do that stuff myself.

I don't know if any of you guys have tried them but I have had good luck with Jasper rebuilt engines and transmissions. Their customer service is excellent, at least with me but I am a business sometimes places like that don't deal as good with individuals. Anyway, when we have used their products the engine/tranny has shipped to us then I pull the old unit and swap over any parts or whatever then drain and send the core back. I have had to warranty one out of maybe 20 of their transmissions and I just called, gave them the number off the paperwork and the guy shipped a replacement right out that day with no hassle.

Asha, I usually do everything myself as well, in fact, in 15 years my truck has never been in the shop. But it is my daily driver, and I drive 80 miles a day to and from work. I can't afford to have it down for as long as it would take to do everything myself.
The clutch I can do in an afternoon. Rebuilding an engine or replacing it will take a bit longer...
I will probably get all the bits together and then see about having someone either rebuild what I have now, or I will build one up myself and have them install it and take my core. She still runs good, but it is getting to be time for some major work.

Did you ever find someone to rebuild your 22RE? I'm looking to get the same thing done.
