Ill just give you the list of sites that I kept looking at when I was looking for an engine.
http://www.allchevyengines.com/
http://www.amerspeed.com/
http://www.goautocenter.com/
http://www.musclecarengines.com/index.html
http://www.golensengineservice.com/
http://www.mp-auto.com/
http://www.speedomotive.com/
http://www.beckracingengines.com/
http://www.sdpc2000.com/
http://www.paceparts.com/
http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/

Thats all of the ones I could think of right now. I browsed those sites for months before finally buying. Look for feedback about them on the these boards.
I finally decided on a 365hp/350 from www.golensengineservice.com.

89Bonestock,
I would do a research of Golens. According to many people on this site, their h/p claims are not true claims. Just wanted to let you know.

Thank <b>you</b> for asking that question. I have been looking for a web site with prices like that for ever. Good links man! Because of you posting that you caused many people to by engines. You should be a salesman or something.:rockon:

I saw those posts about golens not living up to the hp claims. Unfortunately I found those threads after my engine was in the car. I did a dyno pull on mine and i got 224 rwhp, and the dyno guy said it is probably around 290 at the crank. Its nowhere the 365 hp advertised, but i just dropped into an otherwise all stock car. Ill see how it does when i get a mini ram or lt1 intake on there. The engine i bought from there runs really good so far, but i noticed that they just upped their prices a bunch so im not sure they have such good deals there now.
That engine mentioned above from goautocenter was my very second choice. I was lured away by that 365hp number, hehe.
