I sold my 84 camaro to buy a turbo dsm. Now I want to buy another camaro & I really like this one. Are Schucks engines good for at least 100,000 miles?

I need some good advice.

Thanks, Joe

It won't be emissions-legal, if that's an issue for you.

3000 miles is probably enough time to reveal any gross errors made during the remanufacture of the engine. It won't have all of the "good stuff" performance-wise, but it isn't built that wild, either.

I know no one gan give me an exact estimate, but from what information he has given me on the engine specs, how much power do you think it gets at the crank?

Maybe 250+?
