350

So I'm looking to buy a decent 350 for my camaro. I'm trying to stay in 1000 to $1500 range. Any suggestions? There's rarely anything on craigslist and when there is it isn't worth buying

Re: 350

1987, I'm not a mechanic, but I've owned my 88 Gta since 96, and had an 84 TA before that so I've worked on these cars a bit. From what I know, a 350 will fit but you're going to have to replace a slew of things to drop it in your 87 V-6. I just posted about putting a brand new gm crate engine in my 88 Gta. It costs about 1800 brand new. It makes 290 HP with a carb, about 260 w/tpi. You can order it from jegs, summit, gm performance, or most gm dealerships. It comes with a 3 yr/100000 mi warranty so you can be sure of what you're getting. There are several posts on this board about swapping a 305 or 350 into a v-6 car. Check them out. Hope this helps.
