Attarco yay or nay?

I am new here, tried searching but did not come out much. My question is, has anyone have experience with Attarco's rebuild engines or their service in general? I am looking for another 3.0 for my truck. Called them up and got a quote for 1300+- shipped + core. Wanted to know if this company is reputable enough to go through with it. Any help or input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced!

I hope they're good. I just got a new cyl. head from them to throw on. The head looks awesome, so I think they know what they're doin. I'll let you know more once I get it running.

Attarco "says" that they've never had a part returned. If you're in need of an engine ASAP, I'd go ahead and buy it from them. They've got some of the cheapest prices around. Plus I just found out one of my wheelin buddies has had one of their 22RE's in his truck for 2 years and has had NO problems at all. Sounds like they're good to me, considering he drives his truck 120 miles a day.

From what i've heard attarco is a good place to get engines/ transmissions from. my dad picked up a transmission fro his chevy sprint and it has been fine for over a year.

Attarco is pretty good but, I've never heard of or seen an Attarco engine with more than 20k miles on it. Probably insignificant but just for a few hundred more you could go with orientengine.com which is a very reputable company.

My truck isn't movable as I have most components off. Attarco will deliver it which is a good thing. Doesn't go pass 20k?

Who can vouch for Orientengine.com or has dealings with them? How are their engines? Thank you all for your help.

I think that's mostly b/s. Yota's are so good stock because the japs hold such tight tolerances. My friend has 35,000 on his with no problems.
