This is the post from a guy that had a 350 up for sale

"I have a 350 I bought as a new crate motor and put it in my old chevy truck.
It is a 4 bolt main.
It has an edelbrock performer manifold and edelbrock 650 4 barrel carb.
Roughly 40,000 miles on it. Running STRONG when I pulled from my truck.
It has been in my garage sitting for about 5 years. never drained the oil or anything so it should be fine."

"Up for grabs is my 4 bolt main chevy 350 that I bought as a new crate motor and put in my old chevy truck. It has an edelbrock performer manifold and edelbrock 650 4 barrel carb.
I put roughly 40,000 miles on it before the truck fell apart. Running STRONG when I pulled from my truck.
It has been in my garage sitting for awhile, but i checked and it cranks over by hand. Has all the stuff still on it: alternator, steering pump, distributor, fuel pump, etc...
A great price, the Intake and carb would cost you nearly as much as this whole motor.
This is an email i got from him

"I would sell it for $400 on the spot.
That was the original minimum I had in my head.
It is a solid motor.
I will even throw in a set of Micky Thompson Aluminum Valve Covers that
I had for it"


Does this sound like a good deal?
Is it a bad thing its been sitting for that long with the fluids in it?
Please give feedback!

 

Should be fine.

 

wht should i do with all the fluid in it?

Like should i take it somewhere and get them all flushed? or wht?

 

Drain, and refill. Do that once it's sitting in your engine bay ready to go.

 

alright cool
