Quite simply, the 290 HP 350-cubic-inch is the best small-block crate engine value offered by GM!

With 290 horsepower and 326 lb.-ft. of torque, it makes a great replacement engine for countless GM vehicles, while its all-new construction provides peace of mind over salvage and rebuilt engines. The 290 HP is packed with good stuff, too, starting with the four-bolt-main block, aluminum pistons, and a hydraulic camshaft. The durable iron cylinder heads process healthy amounts of air to deliver strong torque across the rpm range and great mid-range horsepower. Delivered as a long block assembly, you add items like an intake manifold, carburetor, ignition system, starter, balancer and water pump—all available from our ebay store!

Build it up to suit your needs, as the economical 290 HP will leave plenty of change on the table!
