Saw a 2001 chevy advertised as having a 350 w/ a 5.7... is this true??? I thought 98 (or maybe 99) was the last year for these motors.

there were a few years around 00 or 01 that both the "classic" body syle (the one from the late 80's and 90's) and had the R motor (5.7L/350CID) and the new body style truck with the 5.2L both produced in the same model years. i forget when the "classic" style truck quit production entirely.
Chevy dropped the classic body mid year 99 but some may have carried over with a 00 sticker on it. So yes you might see a few configured like that. The new body still didn't come with a 5.2l as that was a Dodge power plant (318) it came with a 5.3l (325ci)
Yep, this is a 2001...
there were a few but not many 99.5's made i think that retained the old style... ..
ford did the same in 04... calling it the heritage...
But this is very strange... an 01 w/ a 350... i just didn't think it was available...
whoops i got it wrong by .1 L oh well!!! LOL i knew it was close to that anyways and you obviously knew witch engine i was talking about, or maybe i was trying to give chevy a little credit on MAYBE using a GOOD engine instead of their usual crap???
haahaaa
