Anyone know anything about motors sold by Champ Auto Parts in Okmulgee? They have an ad in the Bargain Post with 351 long blocks listed at $665. My dad needs one for his 84 truck. Beats what O'rielly wants for same, about $1500. TIA, Carl.

had a buddy used a couple of them, seemed alright. tore one down after his kid got a hold of it, 16 year old kid, 351 ho mustang, parts were not the best brands but it held up for awhile. suprised it held up as long as it did really.

My dad drives like an old man....guess he IS an old man. The truck will never see 50mph again as long as he lives. 3 miles to the post office once or twice a week is about it. Thanks for the RE.
