opinions on this crate engine
I was just woundering what you guys thought of this crate motor. I'm not sure if I want to mess with building the L98 block I have.

Allows you to use the stock TPI stuff and vortec heads, an expensive but nice combo.

If you want a new motor that's a good one to get, but personally I'd get a rebuilt crate motor, it's cheaper and you get more for your money as far as Power.

It is pricey for the numbers... but a good product I would think. I have to say that the GMPP 350 H.O. is a better deal.
The 350 H.O will put out an advertised 330HP and 380TQ w/ a 600CFM carb and headers... but with TPI it'll probably be more like 300HP and 400TQ. For $2200.00 that is a nice engine.
