Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

Hey guys just about to get my income tax in this week and i want to rebuild my 1987 350 EFI. How much does a rebuild cost on average and does any of my Houston folks suggest anyone?

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

might be easier to buy a crate motor i like the way the patriot motors are setup... just my .02

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

Check with crate engine prices before you take the jump. If yours is still running, the long block should be worth $500 to someone who's just looking for a running engine. Knock that off the price of a crate and you'll have an engine with a warranty for about the same - or less than - a rebuild.

I think a crate motor is the way to go, after all the new parts, the machine work and your labor needed to do a rebuild correct, that the cost of a crate motor with a warranty will look much better to you.

^looks like the Texas delegation has shown up on this thread, huh?

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

I build my own, and its still not cheaper than a crate!

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

i plan on buying a crate 350 to replace my 305... any recommendations on shops in the Houston areas that can do the swap ??

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

What part of town? I know of a couple of shops that do honest work.

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

im in sw houston near the galleria but am open to any location. as you stated i am looking for honest work and it done right. i do frequent tomball and conroe areas and your neck of the woods also

i live in the SE area Pasadena and i guess from what you guys say i should just swap out my 350 and replace it..guess my dad just got a 350 to replace his 305.

i found these guys online

I had looked into Precision... they are in houston, close to downtown on Harrisburg. they were quick to answer my emails...
their performance engine prices look almost too good to be true!
(350 stree heat 350 hp for 1799.00 !)

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

I'm going the crate route soon myself with my tax return.

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)

Is this a Texas only thread? :lol:

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

I dealt with precision before to buy a stock built motor with no problems. But that price for that 350 with 350hp sounds too good to be true. Ill double check on that. My stock built was almost that much. But deff. Go with a crate than rebuilt. Or screw it go lsx. Uncle sam is paying for it anyways..lol

Its what we do. :metal:

Guess I`ll be the first non Texas resident to reply,lol. You can get a brand new GM TBI long block for about $1800 and it will come with a warranty. These are not remanufatured engines, they are BRAND NEW. Granted they are stock 200hp replacemnts but it`s hard to beat a new engine at that price. I find it hard to belive your going to get 350hp out of a TBI 350 with a crap TBI heads without alot of work and woul cost more than $1799 but thats just me.

Re: Getting My 350 Rebuilt Tx (Houston)
 

well figured, I better check in (LOL), anyway, there is a place in Pearland, CARS INC> located on FM518 that I have heard nothing but good come from them, No personal experience but I got a friend that owns a wrecking Yard, Parts Unlimited, that thats the place he deals with
