What 350 to look for in boneyard.

I'm looking for a 350 to rebuild. I want to keep my tbi off my L03, and I'm going to add a better cam, heads, and exhaust. I need to know what engine would be best. I want a good bottom end, but dont want to pay for expensive tpi components or heads that I'm not going to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

a good engine to start off with is and engine that doesn't have a rod sticking out of the oil pan or a cracked block..... hahahahha.... no but seriously what kind of build are are you planning? serious or a mild stock build up? stay away from "swirlport" heads that came on tbi engines. stick with a later model (87'up) block/head combo to accomadate your TBI setup.

86',88',89' IROC-Z, 350 TPI, 700-R4

The 92 350 which was the POST L-98 PRE LT-1

is said to be the best 350 overall.

I got a book on it.

Email me for a reference and casting number.

Good luck finding it though.
