1992 truck 3vz-e

Hey all, 8 years ago i ended up replacing the original 3VZ-E in my truck with one built with an upgraded cam in it. For clarification i was a teenager at the time so my dad paid for the motor. Now im trying to find the company who put it together with the upgraded cam and sold it but im not sure what company to look for.

the company in question offered the cam options:
-standard
-towing (the one i have now)
-high power

If anyone knows the name of the company please let me know thank you in advance

I can't offer any ideas as to the builder but, I'd ask how the engine has held up???
Aftermarket cams are often found to be soft.

Endeavoring to get sufficiently close to a scratch to the back of my 90 T4r 4 entryway and in the process prep the back quarter boards for painting. The back scrape plate, back window gasket and channel have been taken out, alongside the outside trim piece. To gain admittance to the scratch it seems the back upper place board for the back freight light must be taken out yet I would rather not move past my head by harming, or eliminating parts that will represent an issue in the reassembly? At present preparing back quarter boards utilizing orbital sander with vacuum connection and mean covering then, at that point, painting for reconditioning more than reclamation. Would it be advisable for me to let sleeping dogs lie and not consider eliminating the quarter boards; I would prefer to let it be and work around it than have the reassembly turned into an issue? Remarks/Ideas appreciated.
