Re: Engine rebuild
Man oh man, did this turn into a pissing match! If you want an affordable engine that makes good power, research some crate engine options. A couple years back I spent the better part of a month of free time scanning the internet, physical catalogues, talking with machine shops, and even scanning Craigslist to find a good deal with good power. I found a 383 that made 420 hp for $2,300. I know it sounds stupid, but it was almost identical to the HP383 specs that GM has but just using different part manufacturers (namely companies like Scat, etc.). Most of the crate motors also come with a warranty, which is better than putting one together yourself (no warranty). The gentleman I installed the engine for is still driving that car hard each weekend. Best of luck with your search buddy.
