    info straight from gm "GM Goodwrench engines installed as direct replacements in a car or light truck application are warrantied for 36 months or 100,000 miles from the time of purchase, whichever comes first. This warranty is the same regardless of who installed the engine"

    Yea I'm trying to get as much information as possible before I order a motor, I really like summit and they have a really good return policy and money back Garuntee that's why I was leaning towards that motor rather then the EBay one.

    Crate motor help.

    From everything I've read is they've mainly made marine motors. And have offered truck motors on the side. But reviews are good as far as I can tell, but I don't think any warranty is offered other the. Summits return policy. And I still don't know about the balancing question of it, this is...
