Need a little advice please
Im looking into getting a 350 built for my 89 RS w/ a 305 in it...i found an LT1 out of a 94 z28 for 200 bucks...he says it has some oil pressure issues but hes not really sure whats going on with it. He doesnt seem to know much about the motor but I plan on having it rebuilt anyway...do you guys think its worth buying for that purpose or should i wait until i come across something else? Thanks.

I wouldnt fool with that one.
You should be able to find a running LT1 with everything you would need to swap, harness, computer, etc, for around $500.

That is what is known as "spare parts".
By the way, if you want a 350 to replace your 305, you don't start with an LT1. If you do get an LT1, you'll be converting your car over to LT1 - meaning the more complete the LT1engine/trans/harness/computer is, the better. Because you won't be using your existing harness/computer/induction/trans.
