I am doing a 383 stroker swap on my 85 2.8. I have found a "turn-key" motor for about the price i want to pay. Would it be better buying one of these than doing it yourself? It might be another year by the time i get the money but I wanted to know which would you guys suggest? Doing it yourself like rebuilding an engine or just buying one online?

 

id get it already built. unless you know how to build it .

 

None of us can really tell you if it's worth it until you list specs, price & miles if it's been ran...

 

If you can buy a moptor and get a good warrenty with it that may be a good way to go.

 

get the turn key motor. warrants are a great thing. ive built 9 chevy v8's and all but this last one were easy. i would say 8 engine builds is good experience but this last one is give me trouble i've never seen
