Bow Tie AlternativesGoodwrench 350 Long-Block/Goodwrench 350 Engine KitAlthough the focus of this article is on short-blocks, we can't help but mention the GM Goodwrench replacement long-block assembly. After all, the complete engine costs about the same as a typical short-block, and it includes a cam, lifters, and timing set, plus the timing cover and oil pan. The parts used to produce the Goodwrench engine are new, including the four-bolt-main block, and it even comes with a warranty right from GM. Performance enthusiasts might turn their noses up at the Goodwrench's cast, deep-dish pistons and big-chambered, '70s-era heads, but experience has shown us that this package has potential, and that it can take a fair amount of abuse. Besides, it's tough to beat this deal in terms of a brand-new (not rebuilt) engine. Apparently, the crew at Scoggin-Dickey saw the same potential, offering an SDPC version of a dressed-out Goodwrench 350 with basically everything you'd need to get it up and running.
