350 Crate Engine

by Jeremy Horelick

Are you on the hunt for a 350 crate engine for your old Chevy or Corvette? If so, you have several options, from more modest--but high-performing--motors like the 350 HO to souped-up beasts such as the GMR 350. Whichever direction you lean, you'll still get a factory-sealed crate engine that's virtually ready to go.

Even the 350 HO is a real value, thanks to its durability and power at a more affordable price. You'll never have to worry that GM has skimped on quality-control either. The HO sports a four-bolt block, iron crankshaft, and steel connecting rods. If you need to power your muscle car with a small block dynamo, you've just met your destiny.

A Bigger 350 Crate Engine

On the other hand, maybe you want more power from your 350. Drop in a GMR 350/400, add a few accessories such as a four-barrel Holley carburetor, and you've got 400 horses under your hood at an RPM of 5500. Unless you're training for the NASCAR circuit, this should be more than ample power for your Chevy.

The 350 crate engine delivers bona fide GM performance in a package you can trust. There's no need to strip your block or deburr it as you would a converted or rebuilt engine. In fact, you'll receive your crate motor completely sealed from the elements along with a quality guarantee to safeguard against defects and missing parts. That's the reason so many people choose a crate engine in the first place.
