Thread: I need some help...what's the diference between a big block and short block?

If you have a good engine rebuild shop there, and I don't see why a city that size wouldn't, I would simply rebuild your old one, unless it's damaged beyond repair.

Ask the local racers who they would recommend. You will usually find that the best engine guys will be known by people who race.

My old engine runs great, I just need a project. I was thinking I would just get an engine like mine in case mine ever takes a dive, but mainly I just what to do this to learn how to rebuild an engine and become more familiar with how everything works.

Hello, Zak,

Glad to see you posting again! Did anything come of your '48 project?

If you're thinking of rebuilding with stock components, Northern Auto parts will sell you a very complete rebuild kit for a 350 for $170 ('69-'80) or $180 ('81 to '85). My brother has used them with no complaints, and if there's any complaining that needs doing, he's the boy that can do it.

They may be available for less gold somewhere else but I haven't seen them.
