Hecho de Mexico engines
Sorry if this comes up twice.
I just bought a 350 engine with a 10066036 number on the block. I'd like to know if y'all have had any problems with this engine or has it performed well for you. All input needed and appreciated. Thanks Bill

Re: Hecho de Mexico engines
I don't know about the newer blocks, but backin the day they were said to have a lower nickle content and didn't take well to a rebuild.

Re: Hecho de Mexico engines
I bought one with that number on the block for 600 bucks at the junkyard, and it runs great. I'm very happy with it, although I would like a little more power.
