Re: new engine
Thats where it came from(scoggin dickey). I am really happy with them. They even called when it arrived at the dock to let me know it was there. I was going to get the engine kit but bought the carb, intake, and dist. off ebay, saved about $200. Assembly starts today.

Re: new engine
The last one of those I bought , I chose to put a cam upgrade in before I installed it. That was a choice that I had to think about for awhile, because that affects warranty. However, I am not sorry that I did it. The motor runs strong and hard, with that cam and the Performer RPM intake on it.. That was three years ago. I have had a couple of these motors and they provide good service.

Re: new engine
I love my crate engine. I haven't had a bit of trouble but it's a bit different. Others said get a rebuilt but for the money I'm happy with brand new from a reliable company like GM

Re: new engine
I just finished dropping that same engine into my truck about 2 hours ago. I still need to put all of the accessories and everything on it, and hook everything back up, but at least it is in. Too bad the National Weather Service says 100% chance of rain for tomorrow.
When I was checking prices, Summit beat everyone, including Scoggins-Dickey. SD is in Texas, so I would have had to pay tax as well. Summit price was $1359 + $1000 shipping and handling. Slonaker Last edited by Slonaker; 01-22-2006 at 12:04 AM. |

Jegs has a package about like what you are looking at for about the same price as yours, but their shipping should be less. Search for part # 10067353. Slonaker |

Re: new engine
What are the benifits in an engine with a one piece rear main seal vs. a two piece rear main seal?

The biggest plus is it's less likely to leak with the one peice seal. A roller engine incorperates a roller cam and roller lifters. Nothing too special.

Re: new engine
FWIW, all '86 and '87 trucks have one piece rear main seals, but they don't have roller cams.

Also someone said "Nothing to special about a roller cam." Are you NUTS?! With a roller, you can get away with a larger cam that "acts" smaller, MUCH better performance. Such as the GMPP 846/847 cam or the LT4 HotCam. If I had the choice, I'd choose roller over flat tappet, EVERYTIME! |

Re: new engine
Its a good motor I have one Im going to rebuild in the garage. By the way they head gaskets dont like to be overheated. They will blow if you do.

Re: new engine
Put the same engine in mine back in 95. I've got 120,000 miles on it and still going strong. I paid 1175.00 at Hardy Chevolet. The second week I had it I didnt put the radiator cap back on and overheated it with no damage done. I have run mobil 1 in it since 50,000 miles. No oil leaks since I put cast aluminun valve covers on. It's the best purchase I've ever made.
I am thinking about vortec heads for it.
