im getting an early-mid 80's 350 4 bolt from a neighbor, and i plan on working it a bit and putting it in my camaro. i dont have it yet, but its not going anywhere. if the cylinders are still in good shape and such, i just plan on replacing the rings and all the engine bearings. i just want a stock replacement for both the bearings and rings because i dont plan on making more than about 325-350 hp. i may supercharge it in the future, but i dont want to convert to full serpantine to run one, so it wouldnt be until a long time from now. im going to be reusing a built up tpi intake.

 

You might want to think about punching it out and replaceing the pistions whill your at it. It would be a great investment and help get you up to that power number you know. Plus your only talking about maybe 300-400 bucks more than you are spending know and could save you lots of time down the road.
