Hey, just thought I would let y'all know about a source for cheap engine kits. Go to <a href="http://www.northernautoparts.com" target="_blank">www.northernautoparts.com</a> ,you can get a 350 Chevy master kit (including cam bearings and freeze plugs) for $154 302 Ford for $199. Sealed power,Hastings,Clevite,Cloyes,Melling,Fel-Pro,etc. You can request a free catalog at their site. Oh yeah these kits are upgradable (forged pistons etc.)

COOL, THANKS.

That's a new one on me. Have you ordered from there?

Madd Syntst: No but a couple of the other guys in my class have, and my 'structor has been using them (and a few other good sources that I will post later), and are very pleased with the products and service (C.O.D. FedEx etc.) There are freight costs however, but as I recall they weren't much (stuff comes from Iowa).

i have a 327 and it aint that cheap from northern. _IF_ you have a 350, then yes, its a good deal for rebuild. anything else outside the box and its bigger bucks. my rebuild from them was close to 400 and thats without the pistons.
so make sure you do your home work. the parts are first class regardless.

My catalog says: 327 sm. journal $291.05 and lg. journal $255.35 Did you have any add ons or anything? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

I'm using Northern now for a 350 rebuild. I think the're great! Always very helpful with ouestions, on the phone or email. They beat my local suppliers by a mile on price. They ARE a little 350 oriented. Quality stuff, shipped right out, lowest shipping and hanleing of any mailorder I've used.

I've ordered their catalog, thanks.

I've ordered one too......GK

They're probably wondering why there's so many requests for catalogs. Thanks,
Jack

I had there magazine before, but wasnt really planning a rebuild. The 350 kit with hypertectic pistons looks great! Complete for 299.99.
Howz those Crane energizer cams though? Can you swap out cams for xtra? I ordered a mag to. HG
