Engine Rebore - 3.4 to 3.8 in California?

Didn't I see a thread on here about a company in California that could rebore a 3.4 into a 3.8?? Does anyone know of someone that does this??

edit...it looks like the master bearing went outski

I believe these guys do it. I have been there and I see 996 engines torn apart scattered across the shop.

I just got my engine from them and was in the shop last week they did not bore and did not see them tooled up for that from my understanding, but could change out cranks for a 3.8 and even change to a 3.8 eng I believe. It's worth a call talk to Robert (on left) great guys tell them steve from Phoenix sent ya. Disclaimer: Remember not affiliated with them just have there engine.
