You are sure to find something here http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?act...start&catid=63

If you want a L98, you can try Contemporary Corvette for a used one. 1-800-367-8388

Hi Mojo.

I'm looking at doing that this winter (the TPI one http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?act...=1577&pid=9009 ). Do you know anybody that has bought from them?

What's wrong with the current one?
The block would be a commodity. roller, 1 piece rear seal. 4 bolt mains.

Re: crate engines (jimshearer)

I dont know if anyone sells a crate L98

The L98 is just a regular Small-Block Chevy, same one they used in the muscle car era, with just a different intake manifold on top. Any of those will work.

Re: crate engines (jimshearer)

Have you thought about yanking out your engine and sending it in to Jaspers?
They went through my L98 complete with heads shipped both ways for about $2K give or take. I also have a 3 yr/75K mile warrentty.
Just a thought.
Good Luck

Re: crate engines (Fozzy_Bear)

I used to live in Lubbock, and I did a whole lot of shopping at Scoggin-Dickey. They're awesome to deal with and on the rare occasion someone had problems, they were very good to deal with in getting it straightened out. When I need a new motor, there going to be the ones I go through.

Re: crate engines (jimshearer)

ZZ4 is a direct replacement. Just use your old TPI setup, distributor and some other minor bits on it and it will install and work just fine. It even gives you a bit more power than the stock motor. If you want to get some more power add GM Hot Cam and 1.6 roller rockers + port your intake.
