I just wanted to let ilss know,I just put a 350 in a suburban I had. I bought it in long block form from Advance Auto for 1245.00 with a 3yr/150,000 mile warranty. It seems like a well built engine and there were no finger tight rod bolts or anything of that nature. It's not a 400 but it has plenty of power.

Like I said before, and you state your in the auto industry, why didn't you pull the pan, check the motor over before you paid for it and loaded into your van?
a couple hundred in gas and van rental would have been better than what your going through.
We are not enemies illss, but you got what you paid for, nothing more nothing less.
Like they say in latin caveat emptor (buyer beware)

Sorry Ills but I clicked that pm link and got a message I am not allowed to view this page.
What you should have done is post the actual pm's in here so we could see them.
If it is in YOUR account I cannot get in to look and neither can ANYONE else.
That is why we have 3 Stickys that say to read before you post, we need all the information, not just what you choose to put in.
I am sorry if you were lied to and I have no way to see that, but that is on you not me.
I am not trying to be a jerk, just letting you know that from what we can see, it was just a bad deal.
Also, just advice for the future, if you buy used take it apart, don't trust a guy just because he says it is what it is, but I think you already learned that one.
