Recently I had a connecting rod break on my 350 tpi 88 iroc-z which sent it threw the bottom of the engine. I wanted some advice on rebuilding or replacing the engine. Would somthing like this trash the block, or is it still rebuildable. There was oil and coolant leaking from the bottom of the engine. If it is or isn't. If it was rebuilt, would it be about the same having it built to a 383 cost wise as just rebuilding it. If it isn't rebuildable would the tpi cross over to a 400 sbc?

Or should I just go junk yard hopping for another 350 block.

 

Welcome aboard.

The block is now an anchor. Find another.

 

clean it up some. mount it in the garage and make racing tells up about that block to your buddies. how it was pushing 800+ hp;p and the connecting rod couldnt handle the powah!

 

Sounds like a good plan to me!
