350 cid Crate Motors?

Rich · 12-08-2001, 07:37 PM

I need a new engine for my caprice. I want to get a crate motor, and get something with a bit of punch for my car.

Basically what im asking here is, does anybody know where I can find prices and specs on 350 crate motors? What price range am I looking at here?

Prices in American or Canadian would be great, any other info anyone can provide would be helpful!

Thanks.

You can go to most Chevy dealers and they can get you a crate motor, but Scroggin-Dickey in Lubbock, Texas has about the best prices on crate motors, I have never bought one from them but seen the advertisement in mags. A regular replacement engine for your rig will be about 1350.00 or if you want more power you can get a 330 horse-350 for about 3000.00 complete. Pick up a Super Chevy mag or a Chevy High Performance mag at the super market and look thru the adds, I dont know what you can afford but speed cost money, they have alot of crate combos, hope that helps. Good Luck :smoka:

Thx for the info. I appreciate it.

Im gonna go get some mags and take a look at some prices. I can probably get the 330hp/350cid engine if I give up my project mazda, and put that money towards the new motor. I am still not 100% sure as to what I am going to do yet.

Thanks for the quick reply tho.

For crate motors I will have to say, hands down, Mark's Performance Engines in Phoenix, AZ (602)252-4309. Thats where I got mine and I love it. The prices for what your getting is great.

the internet is your friend. places like jegs, to small machine shops, to hot rod shops are at your finger tips with the help of yahoo. do some shoping, compare specs, and WARRENTYS!

you can get some info if you go to www.gm.com and find your way to the parts catalog for chevrolet. i found it once. they have a lot of crate engines and part #'s for them. i'm not sure what all they have on their site though.
