Hi all, I’m in Manchester U.K and I have a 1982 Z28 Camaro. I’m looking for as near a turnkey crate engine as I can get, nothing ridiculous just a 350 putting out 350bhp or there about. It’s for daily driver (very short journeys) and occasional shows and meets. Nothing ever more than an hours drive away. A roller cam and aluminium heads would be nice but not a deal breaker. I’ve looked at lots of stuff online (Blueprint, ATK, Tristar) and as usual there are good and bad reviews. So what have you guys/gals got that you can recommend. Also looking for recommendations for headers to go with the engine. Building an engine or an LS swap is not an option here due to the costs and the fact that we don’t have LS engines lying around in our scrapyards! Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Alan.

Sorry no ute’s in the U.K. lots of 1.9 turbo diesels for sale!!!

Thanks James, I’ll have a look. It’s hard to get recommendations here in the U.K. lots of people to talk to but no one that’s bought anything recently.

Thanks for that and taking the time to reply. I’ve got a quote off a place in Kent that will supply a fully running turnkey engine ready to drop in and go. I’m torn what to do because I’m also looking at engines in the states but Their turnkey engines still need lots of small parts to finish them off, pulleys, fuel lines, screws and odds and sods. By the time I add it all together plus import it comes to almost the same as the one from Kent. Plus I think dealing with someone in Kent if anything goes wrong will be easier! It’s a nice problem to have but still causing me a headache! Alan.

With accessory serpentine drive. Good call. Other than fuel line pump to carb routing as a minor snag, this is an absolute must-do, IMO.
