In my quest for a new truck engine, I recently found myself doing lots of research in this area. I even had NAPA quote me an engine, but as soon as I mentioned that I was considering getting a Jasper engine, the counter guy (who I've known for years) said, "Don't buy it from us. Get the Jasper engine". Yes, it cost about $500 more, but I'll gladly spend it for peace-of-mind.

And the 302 long block from Autozone is $1248.99.

I have a printout of about 9 different engines from different companies and the Recon price is pretty comparable to the others.bnickel said:that's a bit high for a reman if you ask me.
Why shouldn't I? I get all my other parts from Autozone. The engine has a 3 year warranty and Autozone is pretty much nation wide. I plan on moving in a year so if I get an engine through a local place, what good is it going to do me if it dies 2 years from now and I'm half way across the country?Rusty67 said:Would you honestly trust an Autozone block ?
