Possibly my new engine?
http://wausau.craigslist.org/pts/4100518189.html
What do you guys think of this? I have my K20 and i am thinking about getting a new engine for it. I want an engine that can do everything, tow, offroad, and have good power while doing it. Does a 383 Stroker fit that bill?

Re: Possibly my new engine?
to spend that type of money on a motor with an unknown builder with no warrenty is quite foolish
your next post could be " my new engine with 50miles on it blew up"

That tag on the front of the engine makes me wonder if it is a remanufactured short block. I worked in an Automotive Machine shop for 16 yrs and that is the type of thing you would see on a reman engine. I would be very cautious.

Re: Possibly my new engine?
I know very little about engines. Party due to that fact, I would be very cautious about buying one without a warranty. Unless one is equipped and experienced with doing their own rebuilds, I think it's better to pay more and be more sure of what they are getting.
