I've been the snipee too many times. Unless they change the process somehow, it's the only way to bid.

hahaha.. i now know why i get outbid the last couple seconds.... haha.. thnaks guys lol

hmm.. i put a wannted ad up at my work.. for a 350 motor.. and i got a couple replies.. but they are completely built motors.. and they want liek 2,000 dollars.. but they are completely built

Well... I finally got a 350.. found it in the paper. Its a GM LG 5.7 bored.030 over.. i got it for 150 bucks. 2 bolt mains, i was wondering where i find the casting number at. Also i was wonderin if you guys could give me a couple tips on buliding the motor.. since i am new to all this. I would greatly appreciate it!

I've got a 2 bolt 350 casting number 3970010 that I'd be willing to sell you. It's bored .030 over, and doesn't seem to have had many mile on before it died, so it may be cleaned up with a .040 overbore (otherwise a .060 bore will do the job). It had main bearing failure, but no bearings spun. I'll also throw in a crank (may not be salvagable), some 33882 heads, rods (you should probably have them reconditioned), and pistons (probably not much use to you), all for $350. There is a cam in there of unknown lift, but you might be able to make use of it. I will not include the lifters, because I didn't keep track of where they came from.

Casting is found at the back of the block, right above where the bellhousing mounts, just takes a little degreaser and sometimes a wire brush to find it. Decode the pad first, right behind the alternator near the bracket.

Hi im new here just found this site today, I would check at www.racingjunk.com

Depending on how much motor you want to build, sometimes a crate motor or a reman from a reputable rebuilder is more cost effective...... Just my 2 cents worth.

hmm.. thanks for the input guys.. but what i really wanna do.. is fix this motor up piece by piece... that way ill know itl b all done right.. and i bought this car for a project car..jsut for this reason.. to find a motor and fix it up. i know edelbrock has some sort of comple kit.. heads, cam,pistions,rods,lifters,pushrods,lifter, gaskets.. everything.. but im not sure what im gonna need. I want mild performance, good gas mileage, and low maintenece.

oh yea.. and also, since its bored out .030.. wut would it make it now.. like a 355?

I noticed there are two holes.. beside the end pushrod holes.. towards the end of the block. they appear to be the same size.. and i was wondering if they are normal

im not sure.. they look awkard.. ill try to get apicture of tehm for you to see

ok.. heres some pics of the two holes..

and the other hole..
