    4.3 L OMC Engine for sale

    I have a 1999 4.3L OMC engine. The engine was in a garage that burnt down. I have been told that the heavy metal should still be good. The engine block, cam, heads, pistons etc. run at pretty high temperatures so I guess they would be OK, but it would need to be overhauled totally. Is this...

    Engine Fire

The heads were checked, but when I reassembled the engine, I was having poor compression in cylinder 3. What is best, have this engine rebuilt, buy a short block, buy a long block, or part...
