When I was in the auto repair business, I remember Jasper's were rebuilds. They always required the core. I dont know if they offer new or not.

Google crate engine. I recently put one in my Blazer. It was pretty straight forward and runs great. It wasnt much more then a rebuilt.

I know this is a couple of years old, but just wanted to add my experience. I just had a shop put a Jasper 350 in my '70 C20, and I kept my core with a core charge of $420.

After my buddy's GM crate motor broke in his Typhoon and they replaced it including all the labor as well as the motor, oil cooler lines, and front diff that the errant rod took out, I couldn't imagine NOT buying the GM crate motor...
