Hello all,

Im new to the forum. I currently drive a 2002 Regal GS which is my lil toy but I am about to buy a 1980 Regal off of a coworker. It already has a 350 in it from a 1980 Suburban and a Chevy 350 Trans also from the same orginal vehicle. However the motor does not turn over and I was looking for everyones opnion.

Should I take that motor that is already in there and try to re-build it. Or should I search around for a new or already re-built 350 and just put that in. If I do buy a new motor do I need to worry bout which one's will bolt up to the trans?

Which one do you guys recomend for a college student on a budget? And also if you recomend the build any suggestions on where I can get everything i'll need or if a new motor anyone know of a good place with good prices.

Also anyone in the Troy, Michigan area that might be willing to do the work for me? (Can do it myself but not to familiar with this motor)

Sorry for such a long post, but thanks in advance.
