Could Not Pass this Up

Picked up this rebuilt early eighties 4 bolt 350 with 416 heads for $200 Canadian.Maybe time to get rid of my L69 305 but i'm not sure yet.

Not bad.

It would be good to know what pistons, cam, and valves are in it.

Yes,I'm hoping that if they purposely put 416 heads on it they new enough to put in 1.94 valves. Teardown starts next week so we will see!

Re: Could Not Pass this Up

I hope teardown includes removing the valves to inspect the throats and bowls.

Re: Could Not Pass this Up

I'm pretty sure I read it as "$200 Canadian dollars" Nothing about the engine being Canadian.
