need info on a possible engine

i found an ad in the newspaper for a 91 350 TBI without wiring harness for 800.

it came from a chevy pickup

anyone know the specs on it and how it would perform as a bolt on in my camaro? what if i upgraded the heads, cam and bored it to 383?

also can anyone know the stock hp and tq rating if i decided to just botl it in for now and upgrade later?

800 is a bit high. You can get a used LT1 with accesories for around 700 - 1200. It doesn't have much more power than the 305. They share the same TBI unit and make only a little more power. Can't remeber off hand but i think it is 275 lb ft and 200hp. I may be off a bit but that is around what it is. You can always use it to start a furture engine build. I am not sure if the truck motors were all roller or not like your stock motor is so you will have to do a search on that.

It isn't

$$$$$

It has the crappy swirl-port TBI heads. Garbage. Of course, you can always replace them....

More $$$$$$

If you have to spend all that money on some kind of crap to make it into something good, why buy the crap in the first place?

That's not a good deal at all. Keep looking.
