Patriot Performance

[DeputyDan]

Well I am down to the final week of research before purchasing a new engine. I was going with the 350 330hp engine from John Barrett until I read he has been known to take folks cash and never produce an engine. With that said I am thinking about going trough Jegs and getting the Patriot Performance 350 350hp. Has a decent price (3700 turn key) and comes with roller rockers. Says it's built on a new GM block. I figured by going through Jegs if something is wrong I stand a better chance of getting my cash back. Has anyone ever seen,used, or have a patriot performance engine? Or does anyone have any favorite crate engine outlets I may not know about?

How about this? 400 hp chevy 350 with 12 month warranty for $3000. Have been thinking about it myself.

Check Scoggins Dickey (sdparts.com) or Pace (paceperformance.com)

I have bought from sdparts.com when I got my 260 hp basic crate motor that I was going to put in an old 56 Chevy. Price was as good as I could find anywhere, and not having to pay NC sales tax more than paid for the shipping on the deal.

Also heard good things about Pace, but no personal experience.

Personally I would go with an engine that has more torque than horsepower.

But it all depends on what you intend to use your vehicle for as well.

Just a thought.

Agreed. I asked everyone in my HotRod circle and they all recommended I call SD. I bought mine from Scoggins Dickey and they were fantastic to deal with. Sure, had to pay shipping, but overall excellent to deal with and I got the right engine for me. I got the 350/290 HP long block, part number 12499529. Great engine!!

Does it have to be a small block? If not here is the one I am looking into for my blazer when the time comes.

IMHO local GM dealerships havent fiqured out the fact that they have competition with the internet. for an engine shipped to my door for under 2500 they wanted a cpl hundred more. wouldnt ya think it should be a few hundred less sorry im not paying for the glass palace & troubles ?
