I got a rebuilt 5.7 long block from Auto Zone for $1650.00 Has a 5 year warranty. Just make sure it has an M.S. (for Marine Service) at the end of the serial number.
i just called the rapidomarine guy. it sounds like the right deal for me. has anyone had any experince with this place? i'm up in NH so i'd have to figure shipping costs into any engine repairs i'd have them do.
I don't but my friends have. Once he actually ships it, you're golden. But he's a little to optimistic on his shipping dates and you need to hound him to get it shipped.

has your friend had any problems with the engine? what did he get? i'm looking at the 5.7L that rapidomarine says is 0.30 over with a lifter spring kit making between 300-320hp.
One friend gave up on the runaround, cancelled his order and I believe got a brand new GM engine somewhere. The other sold the boat immediately after the install. So my anecdotal reports are pretty useless.

That's right Bondo........as a matter of fact I'm hoping to fire it up this w/e!!
This will be my 5th season.........have logged 280 hrs so far trouble free.
thats good to know that you havn't had any problems with yours. its been a few week process to figure out what i wanted and from who to get it from. thanks
