Love this engine!

LOW performance people should drive low performance vehicles!

 

$150 for a 350 at a u pull?

 

bout the goin rate........

 

Wait till 1/2 price day, and get there early.

 

are there usually alot of 350's at the junkyard?

 

well i called a few junkyards today, and the best price i got was $550! where do you find these engines for $150? let me know i want ten of them.

 

I paid 250$ for a complete builder 350 4 bolt. You want to tell them that you want a builder! Something that doesent run but will still turn over IE no holes in the block or pan.

 

Look in the classifieds too. You can find runnning 350's for $100-$250, and they are usually pulled for you.

 

$550 includes delivery and guarantee that its in good running order, some places actually wanted more for a 305 (my guess TPI versions)* please read post in engine swap *

 

I was quoted $250 for a rebuildable 4-bolt, roller cam, delivered into the back of my truck. It would come with the entire engine, all the TB stuff (because it came out of a truck). The good thing about getting a block from a junkyard is that they have to stand behind what they sell you. So if it's cracked or something, they'll exchange it for another one.

 

I just paid $450 for a 350 4-bolt out of a 1994 3/4 ton truck. The junk yard drove the truck into their shop and pulled the motor while I waited.

 

your ten engines are on their way sir

 

$125 SBC;SBF
$250-$400 for big blocks IF you can bloody find one.
