Anyone have a 350 block for sale?

Converting from 305 TBI to super ram 350, need a block that I can use for my first build up. Anyone got one laying around they want to get rid of relatively cheap?

thanks to everyone.

Hey man what's going on? I need to get this car running and get the new engine in there right now, but it has just been more of a pain. I just ordered the plenum, runners, and base for the super ram, now I just need to get an engine under it. I am going with AFR heads, I already have matched LT1 injectors, holley AFPR, fuel rails, the ECM, piecing it all together, but I really hate not being able to drive my car.

I need help from anyone... I really want either a 357 or a 383, want to go with forged internals because I plan on using an ATI procharger with about 9lbs on it, in the near future, but I need to get my car running.

Ugh!

Hey I forgot to ask what do you think about the ZZ4 shortblock? Am I just looking at heads and the induction system and I am ready to rock?

Or is there a cheaper route?

The ZZ4 shortblock is great to build off of. The only thing that kills it for me is the price. I think its almost 2k. But with the ZZ4 shortblock you get a good 4-bolt main. You will need however heads, camshaft, timing chain, sprockets, oil pump, oil pan (I think), balancer, and a flexplate plus all the induction components. So the price goes up but you get a new block and a good foundation.

If you can use a factory new 400 short block try this link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...869854121&rd=1

He had 38 of them and now he is down to less than ten.

Jerry

P.S. He is asking $850 for them.

Thanks guys. I emailed the ad don, I checked the classifieds but couldnt find any cali's so I appreciate it.

I emailed the guy about the 400, but I am worried that it is going to be too much engine for a daily driven convertible... But $850.00 isn't half bad. What do you think is it too much?
