CA Power Gone

Well looks like my engine decided to take a turn for the worse an completly go to crap. I was gonna take my car for a drive in the morning to work but when i stated to drive it took a dump. In first gear everytime i oush the gas it wants to die out, i have replaced the fuel pump and filter to see if those were the reasons why the car was losing power but i guess not. Well with a little persistence on my end i managed to get a hold of the previous owner and asked him if he had ever rebuilt the engine an to my amazement (sarcasm) he had not. So in all the 188.xxx.xxx mile the engine has compiled not once has it been rebuilt. So my question is this, does anyone know of any engine rebuild shops near or around my area, i am located in fresno california but i would be willing to travel to L.A or San Francisco to get the engine rebuilt. So if anyone has any info it is greatly appreciated.

welcome to the board.

have you confirmed that the engine NEEDS a rebuild by checking the compression? a lack of power, by itself, is not enough. does it show other damning signs?
