I'm looking at a GMC Motorhome to purchase in the Eugene, Oregon area that needs an engine rebuild.
If we buy it, I expect to transport it to a service shop that would remove and reinstall the engine and then have a rebuilder go over the engine and rebuild it. I spoke with Applied GMC and they said that they no longer provide rebuilt engines, but will install one that I have had rebuilt; they then put the engine on a test stand and run it to make sure that it survives its infancy. They can recommend a local (to San Jose) rebuilder whose engines have performed well.
That sounds like the right process, but I'm looking for a hauler, service shop (that has an engine stand), and rebuilder near Eugene. (I realize that Portland may be the closest place I could expect to find them, and since we live near Seattle that may be an option.
Any suggestions?

Someone in Portland last year was trying to find a person to replace the engine in a GMC, and I am not sure if he found anybody willing to do it.
Jim Hupy would be the person I would at least talk to, he does the work, if he has the time I believe, last summer he was vacationing, but he might be home now.

I would talk to him, and he should be able to steer you in the right direction, or try:
DJ & Barbie Eberhart, Sheridan, OR
his info can be found on blacklist:

Thanks, all.
I spoke to S&J, and they quoted:
Engine: $2036.00
Core: $500.00
RV Cam: $75.00
Roller Ch:$65.00
Shipping: $95.00 each way.
Sounds pretty reasonable to me. No engine stand run-in.

Gene, the surgeon told me that "Yes, there is a problem, for now, he says
we are going to observe carefully and if there are negative changes, that I
will need to have an aortic valve replaced. Otherwise, continue present
program. About all any of us can expect. (grin). Thanks for your concerns.
