Yes, just did. 7.4L MPI. So far, so good.
I didn't want to deal with other rebuilders.
i'm sure they work just fine but the fact of the matter is, that's too much to pay for a used GM 4.3 v6. hell, that's more than i would pay for a new one.
How was the quality, any rust or signs of wear, scratches? Did you take out the optional warranty on it? What was the reason they gave for having a 7.4L there?
thanks for the comments, and I realize that, but things work much differently north of the border, taxes are 15% across the board, and the labour rates at most shops up here are $80.00 an hour, plus tax.
8-10 years in freshwater, about half that in salt water. i don't think you need to get a closed cooling system but do keep up with maintenance. the 2 year warranty is a good idea and make sure you flush everything after any salt water use.
