MABBCO engines?
I have been looking for a replacement motor for the L98 I have in my 1979 C3. I would like a four bolt, roller cam motor, that I can drop into the C3, to replace the 1986 L98, that just came out of it in pieces. I have found all sorts of reman and crate motors for around two grand, but not many with roller cams, that would let me keep my TPI setup.
So I would like some opinions on this one.
GM Chevrolet 350 5.7 Basic Long Block 1987-1995 Roller 4-Bolt - NO CORE REQUIRED - 90 Day Limited Warranty 5.7 liters 1987-1995 $1,445.00.
Add $50.00 for flat top pistons, 9.5/1 compression with cast iron heads, and $375.00 shipping to my house. Total $1870.00

Tell me what you think. I would rather get flamed, than burned!

Not at a price I can afford. I figure, this motor would get me back on the road, and I can swap to aluminum heads later. I was going to rebuild my old motor and add a roller cam kit. But I can't seem to do that for anything close to this price. Especially since when my old motor went it took one of my aluminum heads with it.
