Re: Wanting suggestions about engine overhaul

don't waste your money rebuilding a stock 350. just buy a crate engine and be done with it.

stock 350 crates have gotten so cheap its making the engines practically throw-aways. plus no down time of the truck. you can order a 350 crate and plan it out and if you are good have the motor swapped in a day, weekend at most.

I had a 454 at the machine shop this spring/summer. I took good heads and block in just to be "freshed up" and I have over $1k in the machine work.

If your block needs bored out then you need new pistons. it all adds up quick and if you sit down and run the numbers that GM $1499 engine is a heck of a deal for stock replacement
