TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
I don't like either of those crates, Stewart. You should rebuild your 350 with vortec heads and 18cc dish pistons. Have the block zero decked to arrive at about 9:1 CR with those pistons. Then go with a modest cam and adapt a junkyard TBI setup. You'll be hittin 20 mpg on 87 with 300 hp.

Sure you can do the above for about 23 hundred dollars, or go with the crate engine for 16 and have a 3 yr or 100K warranty.
LOL, the only thing the warranty on my Goodwrench engine means to me is that this piece of crap is guaranteed for 3 yrs.
P.S., will the vortech heads bolt on with no issues? I.e., will stock pre-87 manifolds bolt on without any modifications?

i'm thinking the truck crate is more a low rpm torquer, whereas the crate 350 is more livelier?
