Is there anything wrong with your engine? You already have a 350 in your car. For $3K you can easily get 390hp out of your 350 and still have money left over for other upgrades.

For that kinda cash, I'd be looking at the ZZ4 crate motor... you know its built by competent people and has a good warranty to boot.

i have to agree...i like GM engines. and for 3 grand you can get a nice setup from them, that has been proven over and over to be a kick *** motor.
