Had New long block installed on my 89 and someone told me that it look like all they did was rebuild my original motor. What a rip-off. So the question is, How can i tell if the block in my truck is the original one from the factory or a is a new long block?

check the casting numbers on every part available is see if they match. Other than that i can't think of much. I suppose the motor is all clean. I suppose the motor is all clean but the could have washed the old one. I bet if it was done by any reputable shop it will be a new long block.

What did they charge you?? What type engine?? Are they offering a warranty?? Does the engine sound/feel like it is running better?? How is the wiring and accessories look, did they put everything back nicely?? What was wrong with the old one?? Gimme some details,... gimme,gimme, gimmee
