Now, 6 months and nearly $3000 dollars later, I have another $1000 to spend in top end parts (head machining, carburator, intake, headers, ect) and I've got about $1000 to spend on the rearend to set it up /w a 4.11 and posi.

You might want to check the date on you Vizard book.L.O.L.

no sir, there's a combination in Vizards "How to build max performance chevy small blocks on a budget" that runs just under $500 dollars. Sure, it's low HP low compression, but it's dependable and makes good enough vacuum. NOTICE THAT I SAID GOOD, DEPENDABLE. NOT GOOD AND POWERFUL. Anyway, i'm not gonna argue because this post is about high performance 350, not everyday driver 350. there's a huge price difference. Factory spec rebuilt = rings, bearings, gaskets and minimal machining. That's not that hard to do under $500. I may be slightly off on the price figure, its been months since i've read the book and i'm currently at work. but 500 seems about right for what the motor offered.

So why did you make this ludicrous post??? Are you serious??? That's not that hard to do under $500 ??? When was the last time you bought parts or had any machine work done???
