does anyone have a rebuildable 350 shortblock within driving distance of north Texas? I'm looking for one for around $150 - $200. Thanks

 

i have one in arkansas in zip code 72827 short block with new timing chain and oil pump no cam installed rest of engine has about 35000 miles on it ill take 350 for if interested

 

That's a little far, and a little too much, but thanks for the offer. I've never rebuilt an engine, and I'm looking for an inexpensive starting point to replace my 305.

 

no problem

 

i have a 97 L31 vortec,4-bolt,steel crank,pm rods hyperutectic gm shortblock it has 82000 mi. from a 2500 p/u all it will need is a freshen up i would like to see 300.00 for it,and can prolly work out shipping via truck

 

Would that be a gen I block? If it is, 300 with shipping sounds reasonable. I just cant use an lt1 block. Any more info would be appreciated. Thanks

 

yes it is a first gen style block the only difference is the timing chain cover it is plastic,its NOT an LT1 block! we can do postal m/o or pay pal with a few extra bux to cover their fee,i will find out shipping if you leave me a zip code.

 

zip code is 76180. Let me know what total cost is, because that's a little more than I had set aside - may be a few days before I have all of it. Thanks

 

the least expensive shipping i could find was 430.56 and that is absolutely too much..

 

Thanks anyway, I think I'll try to search all the local yards. Even with a core charge I think I'll come out ahead.

 

hey are you still looking for a block? i have the engine complete to the heads and quadrajet intake..its an 89 l98 that i converted to carb..it was running up till yesterday when i took the carb off.. I live in san antonio.
