As it turns out, I'll probably get a valve job on my 4.3, rather than replacing the engine. However, I did some online shopping and found a local rebuilder that offers a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. Interesting, I thought. Then I read the warranty. To keep the warranty in place, you have to change the oil every 3,000 miles with receipts. OK, I guess I could live with that, except that effectively means you can't use your oil stash because the dates on the receipts won't match up. But then, it says you also have to change the air filter and fuel filter every 6,000 miles. Um, what? Also, oil leaks are covered for 30 days, no exceptions. So it looks like they are really trying to find ways not to warranty engines.
You might say, well, it's their shop, and they can set the warranty terms. True enough, and I can spend my money elsewhere.
