RE : the 350 SBC & Turbo-Hydro 350 trans is a hard combination to beat because it is cheap & plentiful and as long as you do a compression test , before purchase to insure to bad cylinders , you can tinker it a little bit then plop it right in and begin driving & having fun , if you're smart you can do many basic mods as you go along and vastly increase the driveability as well as fuel economy , using inexpen$ive locally sourced parts....

For starters , always re seal any used engine 7 slushbox tranny *before* you install it and in the case of V-8's , always , ALWAYS replace the cam chain and gears as this affects the cam timing , very few after a few years of use are anywhere near spec. and nothing else you do will make it right with the dang cam 2 degrees retarded from a floppy old cam chain.....

You were going to replace the water pump and timing cover seal anyway , right ? .

Later on you can add big valve heads from a junked later model car cheaply , etc. etc........

If you want to make it all chromed out , that's easy & cheap to do later as you're driving and enjoying the rig .

Yeah , yeah , I AM a InLiner guy but being a Jouneyman Mechanic , it's most important to me to have a good runner and making a tire burning beast On The Cheap is dead simple .

Sorry guys, usually I can organize these events and make a flyer, but this year I'm swamped with work.
I will also be working on the truck this year and won't be able to make any events in 2013.
I hope to be hangin' out with you guys in 2014.
