Hi All!! The engine of my C3 ended his life. I'm very undecided if repair it or buy a new one.
I found on JEGS these engine:

67cc Vortec iron heads, 350hp:

64cc Vortec Heads, 330hp with a milder cam:

64cc Patriot alu heads 375hp:

About 700$. With the EUR @ 0,83 is not too expensive.

I got a 383 from smedingperformance.com, shipping to Spain was around 1k by air. I got a complete engine, dino tuned, etc; which seemed to make more sense given the expense of getting additional parts later on (and the issues with trying to chase a potential warranty problem).

I also have an L-48 for sale if you are interested...

I haven't considered complete engine because i have a complete dress kit (edelbrock intake, holley carb etc..)...
Smending sells very good stuff!
Thanks for the L48 but I'm searching more power

The last link is a very interesting engine.

What about the first one? Internally balanced and a lot of torque for the price.

I would go with motor number 2, since it states the block is drilled and tapped for clutch linkage
