Engine Rebuild Kit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I'm looking at possibly getting a complete engine rebuild kit for a 350 out of a 72. I was just wondering who was the best company to go with for your money.

I got mine from summitt racing. I have ordered from them several times and was pleased everytime.

it pretty much depends on what type of rebuild your going for// first thing i'd do before buying anything is take the engine down to see what is salvageable crank rods block etc// first take the block to have hottanked magnafulxed and measured by the machineist you plan to use// also have the crank checked to see if it can be turned instead of replaced also see if rods can be redone

if you fell behind on your credit payments by replacing a tire you're going to fall WAAAAY behind doind an engine rebuild

I agree that Northern auto parts is the place to get your kit from. I was very pleased with the kit i bought and you can upgrade the parts if you choose and even pick what size of cam you want.

Well I just recently got a raise...like a $1800 a month one that starts on the 1st so I'll be well caught up on them soon...and I wasn't meaning like a right now thing just something for the future whenever I get the funds together and everything straightened out...thanks for the advice though
