replacement engine - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rsorrowjr · 10-18-2006, 10:36 AM

I'm planning on replacing my 350 in my 1971 GMC 4x4 Swb. I located several websites and the one that i decided to go with was with www.chevy-350-engines.com It is a remanufactured 350 engine with a 7 year warranty for about $1450 delivered to my house. $1012 for the engine $255 delivery and $200 core. Just wanted to see if anyone had ordered from them or if anyone had any suggestions for a place with a better deal

Thanks

that's actuly a pretty good deal as is. the only way you'll save a little more is by finding someone local, but even then you may not get that killer warranty.

Before You Buy A Remanufactured Engine Make Sure That all The Parts Are Replaced & Not Just The Broken Or Worn Out Ones. Alot Of Engine Builders On The Net Just Fix Whats Wrong Or Broken. As Far As A 70,000 Warranty Goes... Well Thats Great.. But It Doesn't Do You Much Good When You're Sitting On The Side Of The Road. Will They Be Around In 3 Or 4 Or 7 Years When This Motor Has Another 70,000 Miles On It??? Warranty's Are Just A Numbers Game. Even If 20% Come Back.. If They Are Making 100% Profit Then 20% Is A Very Livable Number. Maybe Everything Is Great With These Engines.. I Don't Have Any Idea. But If Something Sounds Too Good To Be True...i'm Skeptical.. Be Very Careful & Check Them Out Really Well. I Hope It Is All Good.

They give a very good summary of what is done to each engins on the site, sounds like it's a new engine.

My new GM crate 350 cost me about that same money. Can't remember what the warranty was though.

Thanks for the feed back!

Do some checking on them the Better Business Bureau might can shed some light on what kind of dealings good or bad they have been having.

I think I can get a new goodwrench for the same price. I will be coming down to Fayetteville NC on Nov 11 if you want to meet. I know that is a little far for you, just wanted to make the offer.

You can get one of the gm goodwrench 350s with 260 hp and 350 ft/lbs. for the same amount like what the other members said but I was looking on summits website and they said that it has a 1 year warranty. It depends on how well that company you're looking at rebuilds the motor. Where in Georgia are you located?

rsorrowjr · 10-20-2006, 06:41 AM

Dallas, Ga... Its about 40 min west of Atlanta

Last time I looked Summit offered free shippig too. I bought my Ramjet 350 from them and was VERY pleased with the transaction.

Looking in their catalog, it looks like the do now charge truck freight for engines... around $125 for small blocks and around $175 for big blocks.
