how much is this worth?
i have a stroked 350 engine with a 5 speed automatic transmission im not sure how much hp it has but its extremely powerful and fast on the road. its been completely rebuilt and it has about 300 miles on it since it was rebuilt. the engine block came out of a 1990 chevy silvverado. im looking for a range or price as to how much this engine and transmission would be worth also it has ceramic headers and and flomaster exhaust system with it and a holley 4 barrel carb thats brand new. plz help

Okay...um...let's double check some things here.
1) Stroked 350? So I'm assuming it was originally a 305?
2) 5 speed auto? You mean 4 speed auto right?
3) Year and condition of the car matter too. If you just want a price on the engine/tranny combo, I couldn't tell you because I wouldn't buy a 305 (assuming) stroked to a 350 when I can just buy a 350 and spend less. Depending on what 4 speed automatic it is (again assuming) makes a difference.

You going to need way more information. Rebuilt is a very generic term. I can buy a rebuild kit for around $275 and stick it in a motor and call it "rebuilt" or you can easily tie up 4K doing a stock rebuild right. Now you say it is stroked and for that to happen you need a new Crank\Connection rods\pistons and it would mean its is not a 350 Cu engine anymore Most stroked 350 motors are 383 Cu.
The 1990 350 block is not a desirable block without proof of everything that is in the motor and a dyno sheet showing HP it is a $500 motor at best, IF you can prove it was torn down and gone thru. If you have no proof its a $250 motor if you can find some one that wants it. Now if you have all the receits for the rebuild you can ask about 1/2 of what you have in it but you most likely only going to see about 35%. Most people want the later 96 up 350, they are cheap and a lot stronger and every junk yard has 10 of them.
GM only sold a 5 speed automatic 2000-2007 and to the best of my knowledge they do not bolt to V8's and would need a computer to control the shifting.
