The 2 I bought from the sale a few months back are quick response vehicle engines and are 370 hp@ 2600 rpm new for 7000 each wonder where the 350hp is used and TomC is correct you can get 3000 for the alternators

good luck

The 350hp was the top standard horsepower rating of the C7 with 1,000lb/ft torque.  Would be a great replacement for the 8V-71 and would save about 700lbs.  Good Luck, TomC
