Title: Anyone other than Summit/Jegs for domestic engine stuff?
Post by: wolf_walker on May 14, 2013, 11:44:48 pm

PAW isn't around anymore effectively looks like (bummer!), anyone else for a 351W engine kit with flat top HT pistons?
Trying to get a buddy in the $350 zone for the kit, $400's best I've found.

http://www.rockauto.com/ (http://www.rockauto.com/) does show some 351W master rebuild kits in the just over $400 range as well.    In my opinion at the $350 or lower range you are likely to get some lesser quality components.    Personally I would hate to go to the work of pulling an engine, rebuilding and then having something fail because I saved $50-100.    Been there, done that, don't want to do it again.

http://engine-kit-online.com/cart.php?shopPage=5845 (http://engine-kit-online.com/cart.php?shopPage=5845) does have them in your price range.   I have no idea of the quality but the name brands seem OK.

Years ago when I rebuilt my 300 six they were one of the cheapest and had good stuff (then)

I think he needs to cough up $400 to Summit and be done with it.
