I bought a 300HP 350 crate motor from GM almost 10 years ago & can't say enough good about it. Brand new with warrantee. Never caused a bit of trouble, no leaks & hasn't used any oil between changes. Unless you want something very specific, I'd say the GM motors are an excellent choice. Just don't pay list price <LOL>
