Why don't we start an archive on Patricks site of sources and prices for top
quality remanufacturers of 455/403 engines and transmissions? Maybe we could
start a co-op and get better prices if we negotiated as a group from one
source. Seems like we would have a lot of buying power if we all stuck
together. Maybe even negotiate a contract with them.
Here are some engine transmission rebuilders that I have contacted:
Jasper engines and transmissions http://www.jasperengines.com/
Mondello http://www.tcsn.net/mondello/ 455 engine complete long block with
stainless steel valves, ported heads and all the goodies for a GMC coach $6200.
Ninex Engines http://www.ninexengine.com/ 455 long block $1152.00
The engine connection http://www.engineconnection.com/
ATK http://www.primenet.com/~atk/ 455 olds heads completely remanufactured
$286.00 includes 2 day air.
