Good price for a three-fiddy?
In my ongoing search for another engine, I came across a friend of a friend who has a
...350, bored .040 over. Crank has been turned, pistons are some type of flat top upgrade ( I forget the name) . Block was decked, it has a Mellings RV camshaft and 'truck' heads. The guy says the motor was built for good ole fashioned low end grunt. ( All Im gonna do with the car is stop light to stop light....) The engine was assembled, test run and never installed. He wants 1 grand for it, complete from pan to covers. This guy is reputable source. Is this a good deal?
Hope so, cause I told him I was gonna buy it.....

Its gotta be one hell of a good price. What kind of rebuild? Refreshed or truly rebuilt? Whats it got in it? How do you plan to get it to me here in Syracuse, NY. ( Im open to discussion, let me know...)

Did the guy tell you how many Horses she was pushing. That sounds to good to be true I would look into it and if you don't want it I might be interested.

Doesnt a Camaro run in the 1500-4500 rpm range? Im not looking for a dragster, just a fun car that will smoke 'em off the light. Whats gonna happen? Will I hit the gas, FLY to 35 mph and then go flat? Explain, because this guy seems to thin kit will make a great street motor....
