    I bought a 302 short block and put it in my old 79 F100.......zero complaints!

      Jasper engines are good until they are not. I think 9/10 of them are good but if you get stuck with that 1/10 its no fun. I had a 350 jasper motor in ski boat that wouldn't make oil pressure from the word go. Took months and I still had to pay more money to get a "warranty" motor.

      Full disclosure: I've had two other motors from them that were just fine.

          No personal experience, but just heard about them on AM radio (Sirriani on AM 550 in San Antonio). He highly recommended Jasper based on quality and a 'no questions asked' warranty.

            Can't say anything bad about them. They made good on the warranty, no hassles or questions.

            i had an 07 tahoe that had AFM issues and crapped out at 240k. low compression on 1 & 7. Best option was a jasper and their 3 yr 100k warranty. Mechanic talked highly of them. Made it 80k and 2yr 9mos. Same result. Took it in, they replaced it. Asked the mechanic if i got another 3yr 100k warranty? He never called me back and took me off his christmas card list. 2nd jasper made it another 2yr 9mos and 80k. Low compression on cylinders 1 & 7. I deleted the AFM on the second jasper. I think there must have been something in the computer. Too coincidental

              my good friend had 3 lock up on him in the last year and a half (in 2 different trucks). Both were 2006 1/2 ton dodges with v8's. less than 15k miles on all 3 motors. They were all burning a quart of oil every 1000-1200 miles. they replaced the 1st one, but he got stuck with the other 2. He called to see if burning oil was common and they told him that it was common until they get broke in.

                Well, we're gonna find out. My motor is supposed to be ready on the 30th of this month. 2 week turnaround isn't too bad.

                  Jasper puts out a decent product as far as engines. Transmissions built by them are subpar from my experience. Their warranty is great most times. There is always that one off circumstance.

                    Well, the two week turnaround didn't work out so good. Engine was ordered in January and the shop got it this morning. I'm ready to get my truck back. I'm turning into a soccer mom driving my wifes Honda Pilot.

                          The best to ya on the install Randy. This is for your OSB? Loving my 5.3. It's been every thing I'd hoped for replacing the 350ci that was in it. Got 500 miles on it today.

                          The fish are biting, and there's hogs to be kill-t. Gotta go!

                            It's a 4.8 going in my 2013 Silverado.

                              We put a Jasper 6.0 Vortec in my 2000 Chevy 2500 last November and it has been great. We had 244,000 miles on the old engine. We went from 9 mpg to 15. So there's that. I haven't pulled a load yet but will when we get it back from being repainted.

                                Got my truck back. Runs good and sounds good. Working on the 500 mile break in.
