The Engine Store

Has any dealt with TheEnginestore.com. Im looking at buying a 383 short block from them. I was going to but a GM performance ZZ4 but from reading a lot of bad stories about GM performance blocks I decided to look elsewhere. The Engine store said they could build me a 383 late model 1 pc rear, roller cam short block for $1799. Its internal balance with Eagle Crank, Rods and Keith Black Hyper pistons. Is this a good deal and should I be all over it like white on rice or is this place have a bad rep.

I would check out Blueprint engines. I see there stuff in Jegs all the time and there short block is the same price and If you get the long block it comes with a 2 year / 24k mile warranty. Right now Jegs has there 383 long block for 3099.99 and 169.00 for shipping. Thats for 405hp and 440 torque. Not a bad deal. Part #138-BP3830CT
