I just found a 82 vette engine for $350 does this sound like a good deal? and does any one no what kind of hp they have, also do they have aluminum or iron heads?

 

'82 Vette was a crossfire injected 350 and was one of the slowest Vettes ever made except for the original Vettes with the Blue Flame 6 cylinder engine.

 

They have Iron heads. Small, poor flowing heads. When purchasing entire engines to swap into a car, try to avoid mid 70s to early 80s. They were rather disappointing.

 

It's a good core to build up with a real cam, real heads, real intake, real exhaust...

 

Yeah I kinda worded it wrong....what I meant was if you want to swap out a smaller engine for a larger displacement one, it's a good idea to avoid those years if you're just gonna do a straight swap without putting a real cam, real heads, real intake or some real exhaust on it.

 

ok then it does not so good any more, and i guess i don't want to spend $350 just for a short block since that sounds like all i'm getting, thanks for your help Jason
