Thread: Chevy 350

Tweet

I have a 84 camaro, with a 305.. lookin to put a 350 in there.. jsut tryin to find a 350 block.. and ill be happy... call 330-784-3117. ask for steve

with the amount of 350 available, you should be able to find a 350 either listed it your paper, on E-Bay or the junkyards.

ive called all the junkyards around here.. they are all sold out of 350's, i was even thinkin of maybe fixin up that 305.. any suggestions... i have it keep it emisson friendly.. have a thing called e-check up here.. and also wanna keep the cost down...

No, get a 350. 305's are crap. Keep the 305 until you blow it up and then throw in a 350. Give it some time man you will find one... unless your me and are looking for a car for 2 years and still can't find what you wan't. Maybe I just have bad luck.

Are you lookin for a 2 or 4 bolt 350? I know 4 bolt 350's are "getting" harder to find around here for a decent price but you cant help but find tons of 2 bolts in the local swappers.

Pick up a tradin times or simuliar swapper paper and you should be able to find one. If not drive about 2-3 hours north to up here in detroit and you can find them all over around here for about $100 for a 2 bolt and $200-300 for a 4 bolt.

Or look at the "budget wheels" section of your local paper where they list the cars that are $500 and under...find yourself a older full size chevy and most likely it will have a 350 you can use and then get some of the cash back from the body at the scrap yard.

Camaro,
I have a 350 that I bought from a swap meet about a year ago. I paid $200 for it, tore it apart and had it machined. (It's clean as a whistle now). Unfortunately, the main caps needed some work. By the time I would have paid for that, the rest of the maching, and the intial cost of the motor it wasn't worth it. For $125 it'll send you the motor, intake, and heads plus shipping, just looking to get it out of the garage (got a plymouth flathead V6 and soon to have another 350). I recommend getting new pistons, connecting rods, crank and camshaft. It blew a piston, but I still have the connecting rods, crank and camshaft if you want to get the machined as well.

ok.. cool.. but how much work and money would you think id have tp put into that motor.. to get it runnin?.. if you want.. you can call my cell at 330-328-0718.. my name is steve

Hard to say, depends on what you want to do with it I guess. You might want to call around to some machine shops in your area and see how much it will cost to get the main line bored. That's the only machining that's left to be done on it though. Versus, having to machine the whole thing from a boneyard engine. It's been dipped, the cylinder walls have been cleaned up, and I think there was more but I'm not sure, it looks almost band new though. I would recommend either getting the crankshaft machined as well or getting a new one.

hmm.. aite.. i mite take you up on that.. how much does it usually cost to get that stuff machined?

check ebay. i got lucky and found my just rebuilt tranny on there for 100 bucks. whats really cool was there was no shipping cause he lived 2 mins. from my house.

yea.. ive been lookin on there.. fould one for liek 50-75 bucks.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=34206 what do ya guys think of that? jsut ,let me kno..

Not bad but the only thing is theres still 5 days on that auction left. Dont know how much you use ebay but the price will sky rocket on anything that is a good deal in the last 10 minutes of the auction.
Reason is you will get guys (like myself LOL) that wait till the last few seconds of the auction and tryin "snipe" it from everyone.

Its not uncommon to see something double in price in the last minute of the auction.

If you really want to buy something on ebay the best way to do it is to just decide what the absolute highest price you will pay is and enter that bid then let the proxy bid work for you.

That Ebay motor will probably end up being around 250-350 bucks, being that there are only 8 bids on it but, most ebay aucctions start at 6 days and there are 5 left, yanno 8 bids today, 8 bids tomorrow, it will probably go up pretty quick.

yea.. i know.. that sucks.. o well.. its worth a try
