Any idea on where I can buy a rebuilt short block?
Thanks!

That way if something goes wrong, you're covered... or at least you should be if your mechanic is a stand-up guy. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 | You might consider Jasper or one of the other reputable rebuild shops. If they have a participating dealer/ store near you they cover the freight. http://www.jasperengines.com/gas-engines.phpTry the swap meet section on this site or on inliners.org. Of course 235's show up on eBay regularly... Good luck.
