Is it worth buying?

[George C]

i personally dont like a motor that was in a fire. they usually spin a bearing after a few miles

I think i will pass on the engine, car parts has some with same mileage for like $350. The thing that scares me the most is dropping it in and it blowing smoke or ticking or something,and while it ws pot i could of rebuilt it easier. Who sells good rebuild kits for these motors?

I have yet to find a "rebuild kit" like you can find for a gen 1 sbc (aka master rebuild kit), probably so many different combinations of parts can be used for the Gen 3+.

Try here for decent amount of gen 3 parts. http://www.superchevyperformance.com/
