Re: Engine rebuild or replace???

I was just in the same situation with my daily driver 71 c20 I use for work. After shopping around, I went with a Blueprint 383. They have all sizes 355 and up. Youll get way more power and a warranty vs. Rebuilding it yourself. And you get a dyno sheet... mine was advertised as having 450 ft lb of torque and dynod at 470. Personally I wouldnt worry about the original engine...its not a split window corvette... its a c10. If looks are that big of a deal, just paint it. On another note, if you go the crate direction, you get to have the fun of blowing up an engine with an afternoon of massive burnouts, ramrodding, fuel additives, and taking it to the limit. Or you can drain the oil and gamble with your friends on how long it will go. Either way its a blast.
