promar engines

i bought a car about a month ago and i got some sketchy info on the engine. its a crate 350 long block in a '88 trans am gta with 15k miles on it. im really just trying to figure out if it's a decent engine or if its a POS...i really havent got a chance to get under the car and look around for some numbers, so all im running on is some warranty papers (theres still 2 years left on the engine) and the info the guy gave me. any info would be great. thanks

Without more information I don't see how any one can make an assessment with it. Do you have any idea what it runs in the 1/4? Does it run faster than a stock TA of the same year? Does it run worse?

I would imagine that if it is a crate engine that it is probably better than what the car came with stock.

how are we supposed to give you info? we know nothing about the motor, its in your car. your the only one who can tell how it runs.
