What crate motor do you have?
Looking at crate motors and power. What's in your C-10?
Thanks, Heath

Re: What crate motor do you have?
Im thinking of ordering a 190 HP long block for my 72 ,it has a 100,000 /3yr warranty and thats cheaper that I can have mine rebuilt .And this is from the local Chevrolet dealership for a little over $1450 delivered .

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I am going to be getting a 350hp sbc long block from a local shop for $1300, 7year 100,000 mile warranty at the end of the year. Local builder 17year experience builds these all day long and whips them out.

Re: What crate motor do you have?
That sounds like a great deal. I would choose a hand built one over an assembly line machine built crate engine any day.

Re: What crate motor do you have?
Hey Tomis Blair - can you provide the info on that builder? I'm near Sacramento, but travel to Oregon on occasion. It would be worth the drive for me. Thanks!

Mr. Blair hasn't been around in almost three years.

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I was gonna get the 290hp 350 till I saw that on CL. I called him and he can either build me one he already has or rebuild my motor for same price.

I bought the 260hp 350. I put it in the '69 Burb and it doesn't have any trouble hauling that boat around... $1650 delivered to my door. LockDoc

Re: What crate motor do you have?
Look thru the GM performance catalog.I saw a factory 383 listed a while back.Plenty of torque and HP.Used a new block so it could be bore 60 over if ever needed,IIRC the stroke was 3.80 to get the 383.Now if they would just build it in a Ram Jet....

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I picked up a Blueprint Engines 383 from Summit. Came crated as shown. All I needed to do was add a flywheel and accessories. It also came with a dyno sheet showing 407 hp and over 440 lbs torque. No need to break in cam. Paid $4100 on sale. I eventually swapped out the Eddy 750 for a Holley 670 Ultra Street Avenger, added full roller rockers, new valve covers, ceramic headers, and a March serpentine pulley system. I'm very happy with the setup.
With that said, I will say this is my second engine. The first had a problem and BP replaced it. They didn't reimburse installation because I did the install myself. Had it been installed by a shop they would have covered the cost. ![]() ![]()

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I've got an advance auto parts crate 350 in mine. It powered my 67 Camaro for years and now its in my truck. Still running strong and I think it was about $850 bucks when I got it. If I were to get a new motor for it, I would think seriously about that year one motor. 3 grand for 400 hp is pretty good.

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I got a ZZ502 for mine from the local Chevy dealer. Spent a lot more than the guys in previous posts, however, I am very happy with my choice.

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I've been super satisfied with the 330hp I have in mine. After 10 years it still runs like brand new. Doesn't burn any oil and doesn't drip it either. Oh, and it goes like hell! I'd love to have some better gas mileage, but I'd also like to be handsome and rich. Guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Re: What crate motor do you have?
Late model vortec from GM Performance parts. I cammed it, changed out the valve springs, and am running a Edelbrock Performer junior intake and Quickfuel 650 Provac carb. Purrs like a kitten, and has waaaay more power than the 250 it replaced.
