Double check before purchase

Idk if I should post this here, but:

I can buy a 355 shortblock for $200
It's a 2 piece rear

My car= 91 rs 305/ wc-t5
1 piece rear main

I was told that all I need to do is replace was the flywheel.

All I need is verification from the tranny department before agreeing to purchase this engine. Any additional info would be great, thanks

If flywheel is all that's needed, this should be the part number right?

part number 50-6516

Thanks

A few ways to look at it.

Depending on how old it is, it

will cost more to use a roller cam vs. an 87-up block

will leak at the rear main way before an 86-up block will

will have bore wear long before a late block will.

82-85 Camaro flywheel will work.

Wow!! Those are good points, I never thought about that. Well, you have just changed my mind.... But that's ok, I have found several of 350 standard bore engines at descent prices. I can always fork up the money to make it a 355 if that's where I wanna go in the future. I'll stick to a 1 piece rear, seems hassle free. Thanks
