Are these engines any good? http://www.remanufactured-engines.com/page12.htm#Buick V8 Engines They list a 70 455 with 10:1 compression, 370 hp for $1790 with a 300 core charge, seems like a good deal to me, am I dumb? Are these people very reputable? Is there anywhere else that sells engine like this? Thanks, Mack
Me too. I was curious of that also. Are they a reputable company? They have good deals. I guess you could be the first to tell us so. Mike
I would be very suspect of this outfit. Look at the charge for minor performance upgrades. I just have to believe that these engines have cast pistons w/ deep dish. Somewhere in the disclaimer process I would bet they make a statement that their engine replaces, but is not identical to, the engines listed in the ad. No Credit Cards? No Pedigree? No Credibility file? Price seems high. They have every engine ever built by every company? What a large warehouse they must have. My local machine shop and some internet master kits and I could build my own for less than $1200-1300.
Mark, You are closer to my engine guy than I am. If it was me I would just make a trip to Eureka Kansas and see Eric Ruge 620-583-6484. He can rebuild your engine and it will be much better than any thrown together long block..
O Man now that is something I can use! Thanks for telling me about him! What kind of engine did he get put together for you? How much did it run $$ wise if you dont mind me asking? Thanks, Mack
He built ever engine I have had for about 15 years now, including redoing my 535 after a few mishaps. He is very qualified for the job. As for costs he can do an inexpensive motor as well as a high dollar. Just call him and talk that way you can get an idea where your at. Let him know your budget also so he can do the best he can to stay in it.
