JEGS Ebay Crate Motor Deal Heads-up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*79 silverado* · 12-12-2013, 11:30 PM

I just saw this so who knows how long the price will be that way but Jegs has the basic Goodwrench 350/260hp crate motors on special for $1208 with free shipping on Ebay, these are the ones with the 3 year 100k warranty available. Says "limited stock available"....

If you've been on the fence or hmming and hawing it might be a good chance to pick one up at the prices of a couple years ago....

Obviously I have no affiliation or benefit from any sales that happen, just spreading the word, search "jegs 10067353" to find them

**lolife99** · 12-12-2013, 11:37 PM

Thanks.
That's a great price.

When you start thinking about the time involved, just dropping the coin makes it a real viable option. I agree you can build more, cheaper; but there is a lot of leg work involved. Takes about one minute to click "buy it now" on the bay.

Link today shows $1506.99 with free shipping.

There-in lies the rub. The Jegs website is now up over $1500, but through their ebay store it is still $1208 as of this morning.

80SPORT · 12-13-2013, 10:02 PM

Shows 210 sold...that is a lot of motors

They may have done a bulk buy ....or GM could have an update coming

We have used some of these and the 290 hp version...they work well

But we get them from a Canadian GM dealer so we have warrantee

Last one we got was 1750.00 cdn

cam.man67 · 12-13-2013, 09:27 AM

Wow that is a good price fo rhtat motor. Had that one in my '69, at that time it was retailing for like $1900?

**old Rusty C10** · 12-13-2013, 09:39 AM

Ive used these motors in my 82 c20 build and the 72 Elcamino... they are great motors I think I paid about $1900 to the door for the first one and closer to $1500 for the second both well worth the money as the shop wanted way more to rework the old block

86Eric · 12-14-2013, 06:41 AM

I just had one installed in my K10. I had issues reinstalling the stock headers and ended up buying an addition set from JEGs. They bolted right in. A great engine for a great price and comes with a good warranty.

Man... That has me thinking of upgrading my inline.

HOTFUN · 12-15-2013, 12:06 AM

Damn expensive surfing tonight as I had to go buy one for a spare. WOW $1208 for a brand new GM 4 bolt 350. I just last month spent $2500 at the machine shop having a 327 completely rebuilt.

winningz · 12-15-2013, 12:34 AM

Now i just have to convince the wife.

**lolife99** · 12-15-2013, 10:33 AM

Does anyone have the link to the ebay ad?
I haven't found it.

mattcrp1 · 12-16-2013, 03:09 PM

You cant build a short block (core, machine work, parts, build labor) for that price. good deal.. It seems like most rebuilders are offering that great warranty on most make engines any more. Good catch.

bnoon · 12-16-2013, 03:19 PM

Now if they'd only offer a 454 anywhere near that cheap...

Tell me about it. Heck, even a 454 shortblock at that price I'd probably faint from disbelief!

*79 silverado* · 02-19-2014, 11:58 PM

Hey guys, they're doing it again! Its not $1209, but, $1274.99 with free shipping. Still not a bad price!!!

Not sure whether to say too bad or great because it saved me money.... It was just this afternoon I was thinking of ordering a second one, now my checkbook is spared at least...

Tuff 1986 · 02-20-2014, 04:24 AM

I'm looking to replace my v6 with a v8.. I have a 1986 stepper c10, can anyone tell me if this engine would be a direct fit.. If it does fit I want to jump on one before they go back up in price.. To get my v6 rebuild with labor is $2300.. So I might as well try and go with this..(the 350)

Tuff 1986 · 02-20-2014, 05:13 AM

I read the description 85 and down .. Due to my smog I would need a 1986 and up.. Can anyone confirm this?
