It's remanufactured for one...

I think those are horrible heads too, can't really recall the head casting #s though so I could be wrong.

Block:
14093638...350...87-95...2 or 4...Roller or flat tappet cam 1 piece rear seal
Heads:
14102191...87-up...350
14102193...87-up...305/350......1.94"/1.5" valves

The heads are, if I remeber correctly, swirl port heads which are junk. They also don't use brand name parts to rebuild thier engines. I wouldn't buy from them, you could buy a brand new GM 350 for $1500.

Scoggin Dickey, Summit, Jegs, Your local dealership. Shop around for prices, who knows, you local GM dealer could have the cheapest price (not likely, but it could happen). Here's the link to the GM 350 at Scoggin Dickey:

Yep, that's the one. If you wanted to get some more power out of it, you could throw in a bigger cam (stock cam is weak) and maybe port the heads some. Stock it pushes out 249hp and 304tq.

The Goodwrench 350 is a good strong engine, and it's backed by a 50k mile warranty. Better than any remanufactured engine you could get. I would reccomend it to anyone wanting a low budget 350.
