350 start
assume i know nothing. i just want guidance.
i bought a 350 block for $100.
the only thing i've done to it is mount it to my engine stand.
the casting number (14016479) tells me its from '77-'79.
and by observation its a four bolt.
the block itself has a bit of rust.
i would guess the first step is to haul it to a machine shop and have it inspected and such. i would like to know what to ask for when i bring the block to them. and im hoping i didnt spend money on scrap metal.
so i want to know what my options are on different routes i could go with this block.
and with those routes, what brands to go with/avoid.
im pretty sure i dont want it to be an everyday driver; i probably want it to produce the most power i could get. i dont have a budget so far, all this will be done over a huge time period. but i want to go at the pace my wallet allows, and do it right.
yea, if you could provide me with steps, that would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
