Steal of an engine deal? (crate)
Have been looking to buy this crate engine: (Chevy Performance 350@330 HP)
http://www.gmpartsdepot.com/store/pr...Product_ID=963 But today found this (Pace performance 350@260HP): http://www.paceparts.com/product.asp...1=241&3=167052 Item 2 would save me around $1200 between shipping, "serpentine kit", etc. but I would sacrifice 70 horsepower. Any way I can increase the horsepower of the pace engine at a low cost? Between engine, accesory parts, and transmission, the GM route really pushes my budget... suggestion? |

I believe that you could increase the hp but i dont think i would untill after the waranty is up,at least that is what i plan on doing.I still have about 30,000 miles before i do anything to it.

In my opinion, 70 horsepower will cost you 1200. What I mean is, if yo get the pace engine, it will cost you about 1200 to get it up the 70 Hp. If you need an engine now, buy the Pace, and modify it later. If you have the money or the time to get the money, save up and get the GM engine. This is just my opinion though.
