They've sold 152 of them. That's $183,614.48 worth! I may have to bite the bullet, I can't seem to find a decent 402BB for the '71 Mini Dump Truck... LockDoc

Re: Great deal on new crate engine

Re: Great deal on new crate engine

They have sold 3 more of them since I first looked at them. Estimated Delivery on mine: Tue. Dec. 10 - Thu. Dec. 12... I called Rydell Power Train here in Iowa (where I bought my last one) about a price match and the rep said their cost is only $200 below that price and they couldn't sell them for that and ship them for free.

Re: Great deal on new crate engine
No problem. Same here. Locals wanted ~1600 + tax, and I've been wanting one for a long time. It will probably sit in the garage a couple months, but hopefully will go in around feb.
Awesome flashed. Sold 9 so far today, if you think about it, that's A LOT of motors for old vehicles for a single day.

Re: Great deal on new crate engine
A new engine for about the same price as a good set of aftermarket heads. I'm tempted to order one just to keep for a spare.

Re: Great deal on new crate engine
I was curious about the shipping... a lot of "free shipping" on motors means you have to pick it up at your local hub (which I would have been fine with) so I had to ask:

Re: Great deal on new crate engine
Well Jegs could not help me on the phone and keep that price so I can deliver as needed to the shop building my truck , and the liftgate delivery mentioned in a post above will work out great .Thanks again for the heads up as I was going to be buying one anyway and thats a heck of a deal. My bodyshop guys thought they could beat that price when I called them and told them ,they promtly called back and said order that sumb@#$%h that they could not come close .
Thanks again John |

Re: Great deal on new crate engine
Yeah, did that a few years ago for about $1400 after shipping right to my door. That is a killer deal and they are perfect in older trucks, plenty of low end power for everyday use.

Re: Great deal on new crate engine
Thinking about buying one just as a spare. You cannot build one for that price.

Re: Great deal on new crate engine
Just curious. If I got in on this deal, what else would I require to do the swap from my current (stock setup) 307? I currently have the factory (non-rebuilt) 3 OTT trans, factory intake and exhaust manifolds, factory 2 bbl carb.
I was figuring on needing the following: new harmonic balancer, new intake manifold and new or rebuilt 4bbl carb (I have a factory 4 bbl air cleaner setup). Anything else, i.e. new radiator, radiator shroud, etc.? |

Figure an oil filter, oil, spark plugs, gaskets for fuel pump, water pump, intake manifold and exhaust manifolds. Basically 100 dollars worth of little nick backs to get it all installed.

I was trying to go another route but at this price, I could do a cam swap, good intake and carb or some efi Tbi setup, and let it eat.

Re: Great deal on new crate engine

If you wanted to drop a little coin some small chamber heads, improved intake, and then a cam/valvetrain upgrade would result in a nice combo and the short block should be solid but for that kind of money it may be better to find a 350 core and build an entire engine that is all matched up pistons/heads/valvetrain etc.

Good points. Kinda what I figured. Might still go for it just to freshen the truck up. Might pursue more hp down the road.
