I would stay as close to home as possible. I bought mine in North Carolina. There was many a day I needed to pay a visit. :yes:

scott shaffiroff is in your area I think. no personal experience with them, just know they are on the east coast

Just had a buddy get a 496 620/650 from a builder in CO Shipping was 250 from CO to NC. Came with warrantee. Same grunt as a 572 GM crate for half the cost - final cost depends on final config but still my buddy ended up well under the cost of a GM crate. I looked at the Dyno numbers and it had a awesome HP and TQ curve - I was amazed. If you call him .. tell'm Pat from NC recommeded. My friend 'Pat' actually called people who had bought engines from him prior to purchasing.

Is it a used block or a brand new crate from gm performance.If its gm performance id just buy a world merlin its a better block.

Yeah, Shafiroff Racing Engines are available out of New York- they build some SWEET engines. We run one in our SuperComp dragster, a proven winner that keeps on going! Nice product, friendly staff.

thanks for info , always appreciated
