I got it from GM. go on the web site www.gmperformanceparts.com go to shop and then to crate engines .I picked the 350/290 hp de luxe .four bolt ,
It comes with three year warranty or 160000 km .
On the web site you can see all the dealer pricing to.check it out,For me it was alot cheaper to buy this engine than buildt me own .

Right on Johan! I would have to agree, 3 yrs ago I built my own mill from an old 350 4-bolt block I had laying around, it was a great experience (my first build) but it was also pretty expensive. my next will be a factory LS motor.
Factory warranty on a 1965!!!! cant beat that.

Hello, I am just learning all this, but I am close to ready for my engine and tranny swap. I have a 63 c-10 that had the 250 I-6, 3sp tranny. I have bought a 350sb and a 700r4. I noticed that yall have a similar setup and thought I would take this chance to ask the dumb question... will I need to change motor and trans mounts for this swap? And will the drive shaft need to be cut?
