Guest kustom240 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 this may seem like a stupid question, but what do you all think of those engines claiming 450hp out of a 383 on eBay? Is it a gimmick or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I don't think they're all bogus, but here's a hint: CHECK THE FEEDBACK!!! I wouldn't buy from that guy... http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=daves_engine_works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DiZeased_240 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I would buy a GM crate engine from a performance dealer before I would buy the ebay motor. It just seems like a lot of money to not know what you are getting. Try this link: http://www.sdpc2000.com/catalog/120/products/156334/ZZ383_425-425-HP-383-Small-Block-Crate-Engine-with-Aluminum-Heads.htm It costs more but at least it comes from a reputable dealer.

SpeedRacer Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Yeah, based on his feedback I wouldn't buy anything from him! Also, I'm not sure I would call it a "crate" motor because the block and heads are used. I think the true definition of "crate" means it is all new and comes with a warranty. What he is selling is really a rebuilt motor. As I said in a different thread, I would buy it right from GM and the new ZZ383 is pretty awesome for the money. http://www.paceparts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=73193 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
