Quirk Chevy in New Hampshire (used to be Dobles Chevrolet) can get you any stock or GM performance motor you want.

Interesting how Jegs has the same Goodwrench 350 as Yearone but is like $800 cheaper.

Believe me, it would be wicked cool if I could take a road trip down to Connecticut, but I am stuck in Iraq for another month (deployed). I should be back in the NH area sometime in January.(Hopefully) Thanks.

Yeah, Irish is right.  I used Tough Dawg from Arizona.  If interested contact Darl at enginebuilder_1@yahoo.com  He'll modify it to your wishes.  Free shipping and no core charge.

My 383 ( www.delbridge.net/install ) is rated at 335hp 415 ft lbs torque. I do indeed love it.

So Vile, what price can you build me a 350 for? Less or more if I help? LOL

I remember I called Dobles a few years ago for a price on a new GMPP 350/290HP. They said $1850 out the door, and they have them in stock. Maybe more money now, but worth a call.

I think the 400+/400+ 350 for 3k from Year 1 is a great deal.

Yeah, that does seem like a good deal for a crate.
