[Chevelle-list] Crate Engines

[Rick Schaefer]

  I bought a 300HP 350 crate motor from GM almost 10  years ago & can't say
enough good about it.  Brand new with warrantee.   Never caused a bit of
trouble, no leaks & hasn't used any oil between changes.   Unless you want
something very specific, I'd say the GM motors are an excellent choice.
Just don't pay list price <LOL>
