Is this 350 worth buying?
I want to drop in a 350 in my car. I found this one for sale. I don't know much about the engine market. Do you think the price is fair? Also, do you think the engine is put together well? as in all the parts will create good power.
Here's the specs on it
2 bolt main 350 out of a 77 el camino.
LT1 flat top pistons
Comp cams 'xtreme energy' hydraulic flat tappet cam
Lift: .507'/.510'
Duration: 284°/296°
RPM Range: 2300-6500
Wieand Xcelerator single plane intake manifold
2000-6800 RPM Range
Stock 305 heads
New main and rod bearings, crank turned .020 under, windage tray, new oil pump, OEM 8" dampner, double roller timing chain, headers (that will fit my car), stock HEI distributor, Taylor plug wires, AC delco valve covers and air cleaner, valvetrain has stock rocker arms and pushrods.
Apparently it has been started twice with good oil pressure.
He wants 1500 for the whole package. I still plan on talking him down.

RE: Is this 350 worth buying?
better talk him way down with those ****ty heads!! youll need to save all the money you can to buy new ones. if you dont mind buying iron as opposed to aluminum i recomend dart iron eagle heads, there cheap and they can give an engine like thats **** tons of power. they even sell the same thing in alum
