My original thought exactly until I started digging into 3.0 blocks apparently GM discontinued then so they are becoming more and more of a commodity. So much so that the 4.3 costs less...
Ya that's weird I have heard good things from a lot of people what bad experience did you have?
I took a high mileage van in to them for a motor rebuild. Changing motors is a PIA in them or I would have done it. Pretty sure all they did was wash it and give it back to me. Nothing but trouble from there, some their fault, some new issues. I lost patience and ended up selling it to get rid of the headaches.

Do you have contact information for for Doug Russell? And yes full disclosure I went into this with about an 8k budget with boat purchase price. Similar boats to this in this area are going for between 9k-10k pretty consistently.Is it Michigan Motorz the website?
They, along with Doug Russell and Marine Engines are probably the 3 go-to places for a new engine. @SavinRaven You'll have that $7500 boat in no time
Bing?
Yes, a 5-day weekend. Plan on about 2 weeks end-to-end, as you will run into issues and have to figure things out and may need to buy a few bits and pieces.
Interesting. As mentioned these boats in my area sell for between 9k and 10k all day long in this condition.
Negative Nancy its not even old enough to smoke a ciggerette here in OH. When I go to purchase a boat I only pay what I think its worth. Its about overall condition. I looked at a 95 the other day that was in mint shape. He had it listed at 7900 and I almost purchased that until I came across this.
