my advice ( in all seriousness this post) is to get the crate motor. It comes with a warranty. If ya get one that comes from GM it hink its similar to a new car warranty. but at least ya know it was prolly built right and if it isnt it goes back with no ou t of pocket expenses ( if youre doint the swap yourself). If i didnt get a almost new crate motor when i changed out the motors in my 86 i woulda parked the truck in the yard until such time as i could have gotten the new crate motor ( mine was a v6 but had i went for a crate i woulda upgraded to a 350 cause crate v6's are quite expensive)
