well i found a shop that will do a remanufactured 350 w/ a 3ys 36000 mile warranty for about 1500 installed. That includes a mild RV cam. I'm going to get a new intake manifold and carburetor just so i don't have to worry about them anytime soon. I think its the original carb anyway. After that i'm gonna get a new exhaust from the manifolds back. It should take a few months to get the engine/exhaust finished. then it's on to the fun stuff.
