I hope I'm reading your post right. No, a 350 TPI from a 88 Corvette is not worth $1200. Much closer to $500 or less. Other than the short block, take the injectors, ecm and knock sensor. The rest bolts from your car to the 'new' 350.

5-700 bux is fair if its in good running shape. What trans does it have?

thank you, my original idea was to build a 350 vortec with a weiand stealth ram, and the vette engine felt like a short cut to get more power without the hassle of rebuild an engine.
