Thread: 350 Rebuild Question

Tweet

It's gonna depend on what heads are on the long block. If they're crap heads, you've just spent money on junk that you won't use. Pencil out a plan of what exactly you want the motor to do. If it's just a go to the grocery kind of motor, then ANY heads will work. If it's a good running street motor, then only a few heads will work. Spend some time going through these 108 dyno-proven builds and pick out what works best for you, then the members on this forum will help you fine-tune your selections and guide you. For a street motor, concentrate on the highest torque figures at the lowest rpm....

As far as money required, you can rebuild a long block for around $1,000 to $1,200 if you go with a budget rebuild kit and don't get foolish. $2,500 will build a nice running street motor with Vortec heads. $3,500 will add a roller cam and some goodies. Don't hold me to these exact figures, I'm just trying to ballpark it for you so you know what you're gettin' into.
