350 motor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Canadian13 · 01-02-2010, 02:07 AM

Does anybody have any advice on where to purchase a rebuilt 350 motor for my 71 gmc. I'm looking for two things reasonably price and good product. I live in the Texas Panhandle. So if it was any where close I could even pick it up. Im also still open to rebuilt vs crate motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.:

Find a reputable engine rebuilder. Talk to people, call the Better Business Bureau. You could also Google places in your area. Find someone who will stand behind their work. Places that have been in business for a long time are usually better.

i'd steer clear of rebuilds and go for a GM new crate engine the 260 or 290HP ones are very reasonable prices for brand new pieces with long term warrentees that beat the heck out of the taillight warrenties that most rebuilts have

The above suggestions are good.I don't have any other ideas to offer (unless you want to build your own)but did want to say "HI!" since my family is from Canadian.

I have purchased a couple of the GM replacement engines over the years. Both engines have given me great service and reliability and I would do it again. For the money it is easy to do. Look up Scoggin-Dickey's website and see what they haveon hand, to get prices and ideas. The last engine I purchased < i changed the cam in it prior to installation. I know that did me no warranty favors, but that is the trust that I had in what the product was. That engine is still performing good in my Son's truck.
