And yes, please read their warranty. Those L31's full warranty applies to those being installed as a stock replacement engine, as in a truck that had an L31 to begin with. Otherwise, they go down to 12 months. So, please be sure before you purchase.
Have you looked at other options for engines?

Has more HP, has nearly everything you need. Will take a mechanical fuel pump. They come with a 30 mo/50,000 mile warranty if you install or a shop does. And, now they are building them with roller camshafts.
Here is a bunch of different dress options on their roller cam/vortec head 350's.

Thanks for the input Scott, I already pulled the trigger though. In fact its scheduled to be delivered today! I looked at BP after the call I had to Summit that day I mentioned in post #31 and the tech guy pitched BP and said what he has experienced with customer and issues they have had. He spoke very highly of the reputation they have of making good. I hope I dont have any issues cause Ill be hosed on this deal. No warranty really for me to put the engine in. The total I have so far on the replacement is close to $2500 by reusing the distributor and carb I have. I hope the extra $1500 I'm not spending works out.
