996 engine failure!

Where do I buy a rebuilt 3.6 for my 2002 996 w/Tiptronic? I see there are certain guys to stay away from, but not a good list of reputable guys.
I need to replace my 3.6 and I'm considering buying a motor and having my Indie rebuild it with the 3.8 pistons, etc.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

depending on the reason for your engine failure, you might be able to rebuild the one you have. I'd start with Jake Raby at Flat 6 Innovations. Here is the link.
Flat 6 Innovations

If your engine is beyond repair I'm sure he can help you find one.

996 engine rebuild

Contact Don Weaver at EBS Racing in Reno. They did a great job on mine at a reasonable cost. EBS was written up in Autoweek two issues ago.
