I just called the local Chevy dealer to see what the current price is. They are now $ 1700.00 with a $ 100.00 core fee. Still not a bad deal. However, he told me if you are not doing a direct exchange into a car (switching out an engine that is exactly the same) you only get a parts warranty for 1 year, not the 3 year regular warranty. So if you are putting it in a hot rod, the one year is what you get. I think this is a recent change, because I remember it as being 3 years before.

Still, not a bad deal on a new longblock. He said Vortecs are about $ 2500.00 or so, depending on the model.
