motor decision!

alright guys,
i think i got it figured out but i think its gonna turn out for the better. my friends dad owns a shop and my friend works there so after he got off we put the car on the lift. the fricken camaro was leaking oil. my friend said that i blew a main cap bearing or the oil could be leaking out from the valve cover gasket or head gasket. So i think were just gonna rip out the old 100,000 mile 305 and put in a 350!!!! Can you guys give me a couple of companies or places that i can get a really good price on a complete 350. I want around 300-350 horsepower and i will be swapping my fuel injection over to it. I have a tuned port so it should be a nice smooth swap. Please respond with what you think on the topic and places that have good motors and prices. Thank you very much.

crate motors are everywhere just look. and you need bigger injectors for a 350 the rest will swap (a 350 prom is also a good idea)

Take a look at Scoggin Dickey:
www.sdpc2000.com

or Summit
www.summitracing.com

You should get a good idea from those sites, but there's many more out there.
