Re: Rebuilt or crate?

I can rebuild a 350 for less than a crate engine. These trucks came with plenty enough horsepower to do whatever you need to do. There was nothing inadequate about these trucks and still isn't The trucks have always been great and that hasn't changed...people have changed. A stock truck 350 could have as much as 250 hp and that's a healthy dose of power. Without going crazy (or great expense) you can build a 300 hp 350.
The TH350 is also an awesome transmission. They can go forever w/o a rebuild and they can take a whole heap of HP. We see them behind angry big blocks in drag cars.
