Good deal??

[GMC69]

Well I was chatting with some guys at work and one of them mentioned that he has a 700r4 tranny that was built in 2004 but never installed in anything. It hasn't even been filled with fluid yet. It was built with corvette parts as it was intended for a street rod. He wants 650$ for it but I am sure I can get it for less.

He then mentions he was going to use that tranny along with an engine another guy at work has.

I talked to the other guy and he has a 350 engine out of a 74 Lemans, only a 2 bolt main with a mild cam, and under 70,000 original miles. Only thing is that is has been sitting for years, but every month or so he turns it over by hand and a few times a year he sprays lubricant in there and turns it over again by hand. He wants 150$


So my new build ( basically just a frame) might be able to get an engine and tranny for 800$.

Do you guys think this is a good deal? I think it's pretty decent seeing that you can't find a 350 around here if your life depended on it. And I am sure that a 700r4 goes for more than 650$
