[ryan01]

hey has anybody even gone through canada engines before???? just tell me what yea know thanks ryan... possibly considering goin through them for a new 350

they are decent, no matter where you go though, remember, you get what you pay for :fingersx:

Canada engines is pleh. They rebuilt my mustang's 302. I got it rebuilt to stock specs, so I can't judge their performance rebuilds. I haven't had any problems with the engine. I doubt they put as much time and effort into their rebuilds as other shops in the lower mainland due to the high volume of engines they rebuild per day.

like i said, you pay for a runner, or a hot runner :sanchez:

Canada Grenades is what they should be called

I know a guy that got a motor that blew up within a week, then he got another on warrenty that blew up

I also know of 2 other people that have recived at least 1 bad motor from them

a buddy used to work there, they do things right from what i can tell.

[ryan01]

hey yeah im still considering goin through canada engines but i got my own intake headers...etc. so when there building it il get them to put a cam in and etc but do u think its worth goin through them.. then buying a used one and then finding out its got a nice knock to it .. and not enough compression etc.etc. so yeah if u couldleave me some feed bakc that would be great ccuz im kinda in a rut here and dont really know waht to do.. :ohboy: thanks ryan

I had a roller block 305 and a 4.3L rebuilt by canada engines and I cant say I had any troubles

for a mild engine id go to someone private that knows what they're doing.* MBog on bcgbody could probably do it for you.

For a serious power engine id go with experience.* 10 HP makes a huge difference with those engines, the tricks and tips that the experienced engine builders use are what wins races.

there is so much to do, more like 30hp hidden easy. i read this article on a spec motor for circle track racing, all the tricks and friction removers etc. amazing power out of a 355 and cast vortec race heads, 630hp :|

my first one i had, was built by a guy we know, reg. he isnt a shop, just a backyard guru, hes got a flowbench and stuff. he built it pretty good. lasted 4 years of everything i could throw at it. was a budget build too, 3500 for the motor, most new parts. and this new fancy one i got was built by precision valve and crank in north van. yet to be tested :fingersx:

[Dizzle]

I do deliveries to Prec Valve and Crank. All those guys are REALLY nice and went threw all sorts of junk with me on how I COULD get some extra HP out my truck.

Also quoted me a SWEET price for an engine rebuild which I'm still considering.

[79 Z28]

they are my guys now. whenever i need a motor built it will most likely be them :up: unless this one fails miserably :fingersx:
