Thread: 350 Rebuild Question

Tweet

I built a motor from scratch, I reused only the crank, head bolts, oil pan, oil pump (it was almost new), and accessories like the carb and distributor. I came out at about $2500 including a $300 block (good 350 blocks are getting rare in California). This price included all parts and machine work. The engine in current trim makes probably makes 300 hp at the crank. For the same price but with a different cam and intake, the motor could probably make close to 400 hp.

since when are good 350 blocks getting rare in cali.... they aren't here in san diego at least..... they're alllllll over the place...... if you look on craigslist you can buy not just good 350 blocks but good 350 motors for a few hundred bucks, and theres at least one a day
