Need help getting a new engine
Hello all, as some of you might know from my previous post, my 305 sbc just recently died. Ever since I bought the car back in May I wanted to eventually upgrade to a more powerful motor, I just wasn't expecting having to do it this soon. I would like to purchase a long block crate engine, preferably a SBC rated between 300-400HP as I already have parts I can use for it (TH350 Transmission, water pump, intake manifold etc) However, I'm on a low budget and I have never had to replace an engine before, therefore I could use some guidance on how to go about doing the swap and finding a shop and what to do with the old engine etc. Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
