I'm putting a 350 in my 84 right now (The motor should be at least sitting in it by the middle of the week if all goes right anyway). You should get the 350 and work on it a little at a time. Sounds like a great winter project because there is not much else to do here in Iowa in the winter time. Good luck!!

You should be able to find a good deal on a 350 for $200 instead of just getting a carb. I got a 96 LT1 (5.7L 350) for $250.00 running. You just have to look around for the good deals man. A good website to check out is http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites

That's where I got my motor from. Just go there and put in your state and city and search auto parts for a 350. You should be able to find something.

Thats a really nice block, you should have painted and cleaned your engine bay up before you put it in there lol.
