Jasper engine?

Need help on my options. Got blown head gaskets on a stock 91' SC with 103,000 miles. I'm leaning towards dropping in a Jasper engine instead of rebuilding my own engine. Is there anyone else out there that build quality 3.8's that stand behind them like Jasper for a better price? The reason I'm leaning towards not just rebuilding the top end is the high miles and plus I don't know what damage has been done by the water in my oil. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Any small rebuilder is likely to be more expensive than Jasper. As a small rebuilder will make the engine better. Jasper just builds it to spec.

You can also get bad engines from Jasper, or any large rebuilder. And the SC block is much more rare than any other 3.8 so it won't be cheap anyway.

If you have the time, I'd rebuild what you have. If you didn't drive it with antifreeze in it long, the bearings are probably all that is shot below.
