Gowestys "in house", extends over many state and county lines.....

I do know they've used several engine builders. I don't know gex to be one of them. 
Their engines are quite a bit more then just "bored out", but in my opinion, still have plenty of quality control issues, product development issues, and a terrible warranty program that is well documented. 

I love many of their things, Their higher displacement engines are not one of them. 
Id run a 2.2 or 2.3 of theirs though.

The engines I saw advertised by GEX have the same displacement as the original, at least for the 2.1 engines.  If GEX rebuilds for GoWesty, wow, GoWesty's profit margin is even greater than I imagined.
