The GM V-8 engines are affordable, compact, and offer one of the best power-per-dollar ratings available, and have become the de facto answer to the question “What eight-cylinder engine should I swap into my pickup, restoration project, hot rod, or just ole reliable?”
Fraser Engine Co. remanufactures all four generations of engines. The appropriate engine for your vehicle may need to be determined by one of our seasoned sales associates.
You can see their detailed information sheets here.
As with almost every US automaker, engines in production for many years present common performance problems and even failures. Michael Fraser, of the GM remanufacturing division shares details of the problems with each 5.3 and 5.4-liter engine, and how Fraser’s teams rebuild those engines with better parts and higher-performance specifications. For instance, “In the Gen-1 engines, the heads were prone to crack, so Fraser uses significantly better sealants than the original one.” Actually, a blend of OEM and after-market components are installed to provide the most durable solutions to address these known problems.
