Recon engines

Switching my 305 tpi to a 350 tpi. I was told the Recon Automotive motors are not that good by one person. I am looking at a 300 hp 350. They come with a 36 month 100,000 mile warranty.

Anybody know anything about these?

yeah recon motors are pretty much garbage. after installing sevral for customers i switched to jasper. at least jasper has good quality. also with a 305 vs 350 your gona have to pay a core charge.

Thanks for the input. I may just get a 350 from the junkyard and have it rebuilt by the guy who rebuilt my 89 RS engine. Only a 12 month warranty but he did a great job and he is in town.
