Thread: Thailand. Crate and Rebuilt Engines. New and Rebuilt Transmissions.

Does anyone have any experience in purchasing the following for a used pickup (i.e. Toyota Hilux Vigo, Isuzu D-MAX, etc.)?
- Crate engine (NOTE: short block - everything between the cylinder head and the oil pan (excluding those items), long block - a short block, with mounted and gasketed cylinder head, valves and camshaft, crate engine - often more than a long block, including intake manifold, and carburetor or fuel injection system, and perhaps an alternator.) It is basically a complete engine that requires just bolting in and wiring and hoses connected. Crate engines are typically new engines purchased from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
- Rebuilt engines
- New automatic transmissions from OEM
- Rebuilt automatic transmissions

I am interested in cost, quality, availability, and guarantee.

I am also interested in a shops’ skill at installing the aforementioned.

I have asked this on two other Thai forums with no replies.

I can't be much help but googling this shows images of new engines;
ขายเครื่องรถยนต์ใหม่ (that just says "sell new car engines" in thai)..

This is a web page that also has a forum selling engines of all kinds too
108 Engine Dot Com
You're gonna need a thai to get thru it but it seems promising from my brief perusal..

BTW: I have nothing to do with the above link...

Tod, Thanks!
