“Every GM Genuine Parts engine incorporates our very latest engineering technology and product enhancements to offer a reliable and dependable product for our customers.”
The new GM Genuine Parts 350 engine can be ordered from dealers, which can be located on the GM Genuine Parts website.
That’s great now if they could just build a affordable 455cu inch Mirror putting out around 780 up. In a big and small block version I’d personally be thrilled. But no worries this as far as my first and only comment will probably ever get.
