If you do a search for info on the GM long block (or anything that has to do with the motor from GM, long block, short block ext.) you will soon find out you don't want it.............
Do you need a motor?

there are no more syclone/typhoon engines. You will gete a L35 normally aspirated 4.3 replacement. Even if a dealer claims they can get it, 1) they are either lying, 2) dont have a clue, or 3)have had one sitting around for the last 5 years and nobody picked it up.
LIke motomouth said, there are plenty of threads on this issue. Best bet is to do a stronger aftermarket rebuild, or find someone who has a spare motor. let me know if you need assistance with a rebuild.

we need more info...what's your budget? what are you going to use the truck for? you can spend from 3000.00 to 30,000.00 on a complete motor...i'd figure spending about 3-4 grand on a longblock...did you break the crank or ruin the block? is your crank suitable for reuse? if you want an assembled shortblock, mike, the guy that posted above you, could save you alot of headaches ...believe me, your builder will have plenty to do on everything else besides the shortblock...try this link out, its where i started about 6 month's ago and i just finished last night

Well I haven't gotten it apart yet. Looks like Cyl 5 droped. It still cranks up with lots of smoke. I would like to run it at the track everyonce and a while. My wife says the cheaper the better. I need something I guess as cheap as possible and maybe a head and cam pack. I have a few upgrades already execpt for the motor. So If there is a $3000 deal let me know.

Ok. I think I will have a rebuild done. I would like a strong motor. Does anyone have a build list that I can get? Thanks

The standard build for shortblock is usually
4 bolt caps
aftermarket rods
forged pistons
nice set of rings
412 or similar cam
and everything checked.
Vortec heads are a comin upgrade also, but does require some work you can find out about using the search function.
Come to think about it, all the above could be searched on and you can find a lot of information. Although I have not used search myself, I hear it is handy.
