Re: Genuine GM crate motor

This universal 350 ci engine uses a brand new block and can be used as a replacement for most GM vehicles from 1973-85. It produces 260 HP and 350 ft/lbs of torque with a 4-bbl carb and headers. It can be used as a replacement or as a retrofit into almost any vehicle. This brand new 350 crate engine comes with a GM warranty and is covered for 3 years or 100,000 miles in applicable GM vehicles only.

350 Engine Specifications

4-bolt main with 2-piece rear main seal
Cast iron crankshaft
LT1/LT4 powdered metal connecting rods
Cast pistons (dished)
Hydraulic flat tappet cam (.383''/.401'' and 112° lobe separation)
Cast iron cylinder heads with 76cc chambers
8.5:1 compression ratio
Block is compatible with left or right side oil dipstick (Requires Plug for Unused Side - Plugs are Included)
4-quart oil pan
Timing tabs for a 6-3/4'' or an 8'' balancer
Recommended spark plug: Accel #111-574 or any spark plug with 14mm .460'' reach, 5/8'' hex, tapered seat, projected tip.

I will post pictures. I would like to do a build thread but I am not very organized.

Re: Genuine GM crate motor

This truck will be completely stock. My next one, however, will be completely geeked out.

Re: Genuine GM crate motor

Seems funny to me that they recommend Accel Spark plugs and not Delco?

Re: Genuine GM crate motor

I don't know if I can say it on the post, but I bought it through a place that starts with J and rhymes with "eggs". Best deal out there.

Re: Genuine GM crate motor

Ok, so the date on my camera needs adjusting. I will get to that after the truck is back on the road.

Re: Genuine GM crate motor

niiiice....truck looks clean too.

If I lived in TX I'd probably have a fleet of them.

Does GM provide any break in guidelines?

Re: Genuine GM crate motor

I started night shift tuesday night. I couldn't sleep when I got home because I knew the motor was coming. Once I took delivery, I couldn't sleep because I wanted to work on the truck. Now I am at work and really sleepy.

Re: Genuine GM crate motor

I get a lot of motivation from other people's build logs. I have gathered some of my pictures tying to put something together. It may be boring but I want to try.
