With no specifications other than powerful and reliable, this is the best I got for ya. ;)
Have any sort of specifics in mind for us to search with?
Depends ... best may not be best for you, what do you plan on doing with the car ? Plan on re-using the stock heads ? What mods do you already have ? Obviously .... You wont need a Callies Crank, Compstar rods or forged pistons if it's just a daily driver without ever having plans to supercharge or spray it .... so a little info here will save ya tons of money when it comes time to buy!
FYI if its a long block it has heads..lol
thats what i was going to say dont want power adders no nitrus no turbo supercharger not daily driver want 350 383 nice hp and reliable longblock lt1 lt4 would like 4 bolt main
Then you would be fine with a simple Golen engine, Ellewin might even build it for you both are very reputable !
Yea, On the heads deal ... my bad, i get on my soapbox and I'm off !
I believe Karl Ellwein is taking a break from making engines. But if available, you won't be dissappointed.Quote:

no i want a 4 bolt main
You really have no need for a 4-bolt if it's not seeing any power adders. That crank isnt going anywere with 2 bolt mains. But if you must its about $1000 in machine work and caps.
Good luck.
