I have a L69 motor and I wanted to change it out with a 350. Now instead of paying for a cheap crate engine or something like that and just change all the parts. Is it okay to go to a junk yard pick up an engine cheap and strip it. Then send the block to get magnafluxed and reworked then use that as a starting point instead of paying for parts you don't want?????

I am sure someone here has does this....

What do you guys think?

 

sure, people do it every day

 

What does it mean when they magnaflux it??

 

That's a process for checking for cracks, that involves iron filings and magnetism.

 

ksrammstein, i'm selling a 350 engine block for 100 bucks. It's a virgin bore 4 bolt main. It's pre 87 though. Thought i'd let you know since i'm pretty close to you.
