Are there waterboxer engines that ARE remanufactured?

On a similar note, I've been looking at engine options.  All the
conversions I've heard about, I can't get any Long Term data on any of
them.  Most have been done in the last 1-3 years (more towards the 1
year).  At least we already know the problems for the waterboxer.  Thus
far to me, it's been like voting...the lesser of the two evils...
