Anybody know of a company.....

Anybody know of a company / person that sell crate botttom halfs/full motors all forged and ready to be s/c? I was just woundering if anybody did- because I don't have a whole lot of spare time to build an engine- mainly weekends. I would like all forged internals and the whole engine or just the bottom end.

Thanks alot

1. Its called a "Short Block"

I'm sure someone makes them. Also, you can lower your compresion with large CC heads.

After posting, I noticed you were a senior member. I thought "He should know that." I guess you did.

Edelbrock and GM both sell 350 shortblocks don't they?

These guys sell shortblocks here too, but are probably expensive compared to GM.
