That's okay. The more I research HPTuners, the more I understand your recommendation.I will have to try and find it in a bit.

Also consider that stuffing a "HD" engine into a vehicle that it's not specified for, cuts the warranty to about 1/3 of what you'd get by buying the "correct" engine.The HD version is said to be essentially the same except the valves have been hardened to allow higher Ethanol blends such as E85.
According to the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, if you use the HD engine for what it is intended, installing it in a non-HD truck should not void the warranty. Of course, everything is possible with an expensive enough application of lawyers.consider that stuffing a "HD" engine into a vehicle that it's not specified for, cuts the warranty to about 1/3

Does anybody have any experience with crate engines from these guys? Prices from this site seem hard to beat. Been looking all around and they have the lowest prices on anything I’ve seen. Currently looking at the HT383E drop in for a 98 gmc k1500. Just wanting to make sure it’s legit before pulling the trigger.

Not exactly trying to build a tow pig or a race truck. But something that sounds good and can break over the tires when a buddy wants to pull up next to me at a red light. Just something that will perform better than a stock 350 with loud exhaust. And can still drive normally around town or on the highway at higher speeds.You can build a "better engine" than that for $4400
Depends on what you want to use it for
The aftermarket "383" had magazine publicity and hot-rod acceptance for decades. Folks were familiar with it even if they didn't own one.I wonder what it would cost to buy an L31 core from a yard, refurbish the block / heads and stuff the HT383e cam and stroker crank (3.8" stroke, longer than the 400's 3.75") inside...
Sounds like fun project.
