Anyone have a good source for a rebuilt or crate motor that isn't a million dollars?

No LS engines. So I'm told.
Summit has one in stock that is a bit more than the one I ordered but could ship today. We plan to call a couple of engine rebuilders that have been suggested first.

This is a long shot but here goes... A yt channel I watch is from a dismantler in the St. Louis area. His channel will make you always be sure your engine has oil... It might be worth a call/email. Seems like a nice/helpful guy that may give you a lead or recommendation. His contact info is in the videos.
Good luck.

It showed more than 10 in stock yesterday and still does today. He is calling Jasper now. We have called several shops...all are saying a minimum of two to three months. I'm ready to click to check out on my cart on Summit but will wait until he has exhausted other options.
My daughter and grandkids and I are leaving for a work outing at the zoo soon so we'll see how today goes.
That's understandable. Hope it works out. I know it sucks when you want to get something done in the here and now and don't want to wait until who knows how long. Especially if you've done the teardown and the only thing holding you up is the replacement.

Yeah there has been serious supply issues in getting engine parts. We have been having trouble from Ford, Dodge and GM at work.
A couple weeks ago we talked to our engine builder for the race car, and we were told manufacturers are saying some parts are 9-10 months to get parts out from time of order.
I just needed 2 valves and we were told 6-10 weeks out.
Hate to say it but good luck in your search
So....after much discussion and several phone calls...and more discussion. I placed an order.

That's a solid choice. Is your old engine a 2 piece rear main seal or a 1 piece?
If it's a 2 piece you will need to get a flywheel for a 1 piece rear main seal. Just make sure the same tooth count.
You asked about her old engine.
Really put the “heartbeat” back in the old ChevyIf only it had 1 more cubic inch!!

And if the distributor was in the frontIf only it had 1 more cubic inch!!
I'm pretty sure we already have the right new flywheel. Jegs sent one because it was needed for the ATK and hubby is pretty sure this one takes the same one. Tooth count is the same but one engine is internally balanced and one is externally balanced...or some mumbo jumbo that sounded like that. He seems to understand it so I probably don't really need to.

Ummm no
It's quite a bit more $$ than the ATK so hubby was having a hard time. I finally just said, I just ordered it. LOL Shipping from Ohio and already showing Ready to Ship on the order status so it should be running down the road again very soon.
