Long story short, I need a rebuilt engine for my 2005 6, v6 manual. I've tried calling around to some places and none of them have v6 manuals, nor can they recommend anywhere for me to call. The few places that have had an engine, have only had automatics.
 Has anyone in SoCal needed a rebuilt engine and can recommend somewhere?

According to two places I called, the bolt pattern is different for automatics and manuals. Otherwise, I would just buy an automatic. I've seen them as cheap as $1800 with only 20k miles. I looked at the other thread already and wasn't sure if I would have as good luck.
At this point, I'm just relegating myself to fixing my current engine, since I have less than 30k miles. QUOTE (jaysonday @ May 1 2009, 01:56 PM) Quote:
