NTB/WTB Chevy 350 4 bolt block, heads optional

Hey guys, after paying some attention to the frequency of me adding fluids I've found myself needing a new motor.

I need a 350 4 bolt block, if heads are included that's fine, but I'm not really after them since I can still use the 305 ones. I will rebuild the block, so I'm not worried about minors issues as long as I won't be buying a lemon(no cracks allowed). If anyone has a line on one I'd love to hear about it.

I live in western KY area, so if I can I'll drive to pick it up, or pay for shipping if it's reasonable.

Thanks

I have an older GM crate 350 that developed a light rod knock due to thinned oil. It's a 4 bolt, has heads still and I'm in central Ohio.

Re: NTB/WTB Chevy 350 4 bolt block, heads optional

I have a 69 camaro 4 bolt main 010 block(had extra zinc and nickel so the block is stronger) its got a .40 over bore. 300 bucks plus shipping for the short block.(need to replace two pistons, they kissed a valve and broke no damage to inside of cylinders but I have to rebuild the heads(im keeping them anyway). Before this happened the motor had 2000 miles on a rebuild the cyl walls look like glass! Im in jersey so add shipping to 300.

Do you know how the cylinders look? How much total(including crate) with shipping to 42211?

My stock 87+ 305 heads will still fit the block...right?? Since I'd have to replace (2?) pistons, which pistons did you have in it? Do you think the bearings are still good? How much total(including crate) with shipping to 42211?

305 heads would fit on this block and would make it have higher compression. It has 4 valve relief flat top pistons.

85 dollars from summit. Set of 8 replacement pistons.

Bearings are still good it was running up until the day I pulled the heads a(just didnt know it had 2 bad pistons untill that day, and no weird noises or anything)

I think crate shipping fo rthe short block would be around 200-250 let me know Im willing to drive up to 2 hours away as well if you wanna meet up.
