Gm 260 Hp Crate Motor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLUE THUNDER · 03-28-2008, 06:03 AM

Well guys it's getting pretty close to go time. I'm about to pull the trigger on a GM 260 HP crate motor. I'm tired of trying to get the 305 to fit, so I'm just gonna take the plunge. I'll probably put the 305 on craigslist or in a CJ7 that is lying around the back yard. Anyways, I have an option of building my old 350 up with 9:1 compression and close to 300 hp for about $1700, or buying the crate motor at around $1400. My question is for those who have used the crate motor. How do y'all like it? Plenty of power? Reiliable? Give me a heads up. Thanks, Mario.
