You have tobe a V8 buff to know the diff between engs.
There are 2 bolt mains and 4 bolt mains for chevy small blocks.
Chevy small blocks all look the same but come in diff sizes, most popular blocks are 305, 327,350 and 400. Stick to a 4 bolt mains 350 if you can get one.
Also look for older engines as they are " well matured".
Crate engs can be engs from the factory with all new parts even block.
"Shop crate engs" are re-milled blocks with new parts from stock to high horse power.
Crate engs are a bit costly, but if you just want to cruse or do a lil street power, then just rebuild what you got with fresh parts. Otherwise do a bearing and ring job with a lil camm.
There are too many factors to list and it all depends on your pockets. On the plus sides V8s are raw power and last longer that jap engines. You may spend some cash now but its cheaper in the long run.
