I think it is a decent engine and if you want to go a little higher you can get the zz4 crate engine. I prefer the cheep one because I am not going to modify it too much, but if you want to eventually put a lot of power additives I would go with the zz4 just what i think.

 

well thanks but i dont have that much to spend either....i was talkin bout like used or new ones that were under 1500

Shouldn't be too tough to build a solid 350 for $1500 or less. Here's how I did it when I built my motor up. Start off going to your local junk yard. Around here, 350 cores are a dime a dozen. I got a 4-bolt main version for $150,including core deposit. Take it to the machine shop to be cleaned,bored etc. I paid right around $200 for all my machine work and i was very satisfied. Now check out a PAW ad in HOT ROD or CAR CRAFT. You can order their Super Stock Crank kit for $365. This includes a new crank,rods,pistons,rings,and bearings. Get your self a Jegs catalog. You can get the Edelbrock Performer Carb,cam,lifters and intake manifold for $442. A gasket set should run about $25. I don't really need to go into every last detail, but you shouldn't have any trouble building a healthy 350 on your budget. Hope this helps!

 

oh really
hmmm
well my bro had a guy build him a 355 for like 1200.....so maybe i can go to that guy and see if i could make a deal with him....cuz he didnt charge my bro for labor cuz they are kinda friends and he helped with putting it together
