[Chevelle-list] Crate Engines

[Tom Rightler]

One reason is you bought a rebuilt crate engine from someone other than Chevrolet.  Jasper engines are known for failing.  I have never heard of a ZZ4 350 crate engine failing.

  Has anyone ever had a good experience with a crate engine ?  I bought a small block Chevy, crate engine, through Jasper several years ago to put in my boat. It seemed like an economical alternative to rebuilding the one I had. Long story short, it failed about 30 days out of warranty. When we took it apart to see why, it had been over-bored and sleeved. Who sleeves a small block gas engine ?!!  Just wondering if there is a reliable mass-production engine builder/rebuilder, performance or stock, out there ?
