Question Reviews on GM's 350 HO?

Close to the big $$ decision and looking for some advise. From what I've in past posts everyone seems to suggest putting a little more money in on the front end and stepping up from the 249 horse GM crate. Can't afford the ZZ4 (much less the 572 ). Anybody bought a 350HO? Good/Bad? Thanks

I have a couple friends that bought them...love them! They felt the power output, and warranty on top of that is very much worth it.

Good luck!

Hot tip. GMPP just came out with a factory 383 for about $3800.00.I read an article about it in Truckin' I think.It is billed as a replacement motor for trucks and uses vortec heads.I beleive that price was with everything but a carb.
This 383 uses a stock bore, a 3.80 stroke forged crank, powdered metal rods with tapered bolts for strength and to give it clearance from the pan rails.
It is also supposed to come in a short block assembly.If you're going crate I would definitely check out this one.
