What do you think of these?I am in a rush to get it going again.Has anyone tried the engines from autozone?They have 2 different ones,one that they just fix what is wrong with it for about $899,and one that has all new parts with a 2 year unlimited milage for $1299.....anyone?
Thanx for the help and i need to decide very soon ok..........Arthur

My personal opinion, get one from GM, they go for about $1400, come with a 3 yr 36k warranty (that's the universal replacement 350 BTW)

I'd buy an used engine for $400.00 long before I'd pay $899 for a cobbled together fix what's wrong engine!!! If it's going to be a long term deal, I'd recommend the GM crate engine also. If it's something you're going to tear down and rebuild to your likeing later, I'd look at used ones.
