    SB rebuild/replace

     



    First time to this forum, and would love to pick you guys brains.

    I have a 69 Chevelle with a "tired" 350 that I want to replace/rebuild. The engine has 150k miles, leaks out of every gasket, and overheats to the point of running rough, so mating surfaces are probably warped beyong repair.

    I am looking at getting a shortblock, and the Edelbrock EDL-2098 top end. Has anybody used this? Do anybody have a suggestions for a good daily driver?

    I have spent a lot of time restoring this car. It looks good, and now I need an engine that will make it a good daily driver. Any suggestions?

    Thanks. That does look good. I had checked the engines at Summit, but must have missed that one.
