[Chevelle-list] Crate Engines

[D.R. Jones]

Make that 330hp. I'm old and don't like a lot of power, but I'm sure you young guys like more.

    Larry,
   
  Where are you located? In my shop I've always used a place in Dallas, shop in San 
  Antonio also, to obtain motors from. Have had really good luck with them. Only one to go bad and they replaced it with no problem. Also had some labor money provided. It is a crap shoot for motors unless you got an in at a Chev dealer and by all means get a GM crate motor, I really like the 33hp 350's. Look at citymotorsupply.com and see what you think.

    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 ?
