I have a 1970 FJ40 that is completely stock and now in need of an engine rebuild. I have searched the Forum threads and it seems the consensus is it's easier to jump off a bridge than to find a rebuilt engine or somebody who can do the work. I am finding this to be 100% true. I am in central Idaho and everybody within a 300 mile radius is either not taking new work, not able to do the work, or at least four months out if I drop it off today. Do you fine folks know of anywhere I can either:
1. Take the vehicle to have somebody do the work;
2. Buy a rebuilt engine for installation locally; or
3. Know of a decent shop that is worth waiting for?
Please advise. I have worn out the Google machine and phone trying to find answers. Thank you in advance for your kindness and consideration.
