Need 403 Engine Help

[78gmcroyale]

Found out today that our 403 engine has a rod bearing gone. So I'm looking for one of the following;
1. A "good" 403 rebuilt engine for sale.
2. A good A+ engine rebuilder within reasonable distance from Milwaukee who I can trust to do the job right. I'll remove the engine, deliver it to
the rebuilder, pick it up and reinstall it.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
I called Dick Paterson, he is phasing out of supplying engines and could not help me.

Thanks
Ray

Good luck.

I'll send you to a rebuilder in Hammond, Indiana that I have known for almost 60 years. His dad started the business and the sons took it over when
he retired many years ago. We had a 455 rebuilt there about 3 years ago that went into Dean an Cherie's GMC.

It is 119 miles south of you on I-94.

PM or email me.

Ray,

Can you get him to take some photos?

And possibly speculate on what caused the problem?
