To have a 350 Chevy, and a 350 Turbo transmission rebuilt? If I pull the motor and trans then deliver it to the shop would it be cheaper? Who could rebuild them for me?
Thanks.
Mike
Thanks.

I mean every nut and bolt. Hone the cylinders. Turn the crank. New pistons. New rings. Upgrade the cam. Edelbrock intake. Headers. All of it.
Crate it. Pick your level of performance and go with it.
You would need to call the shops as parts availability is a huge issue.
Used to be about 1200 for machine work and now it is double that and long wait times.
You must go forged pistons or regret it later on.
The junk overseas cast stuff just dies way easier than the USA cast stuff did in the 90's.
$600 for pistons and rings on my last recent purchase.
I would guess $6,000-8,000 for the 350 engine build and a friend today was talking about his Jasper built 700R4 tanking and was looking for a TH350 and he said about 3,000 was the prices he was seeing.
Seems ridiculous I know.
Folks Maching shop in Norman OK does my machine work. I am sure you can find someone closer.
Look up Eric Weinegartner racing and send him a message or watch videos and see what shop he uses.
He ports and builds heads.

Must watch out as some of those old engines are not buildable.
I got a truck here knowing the engine or heads could be junk.
Truck was good enough for the money.
Heads were cracked and block was junk also rusted through cylinders.
What year is the 350"
My 1969 300HP was well maintained and has some severe rpm put on it and over 450,000 miles on the block crank and rods and those are factory untouched except for decking the block and adding cam bearings in 1992.
Standard bore no ring ridge.
Something like that could be freshened up with minimal time or cash.
I used to buy old wrecks just for the small block chevy engine and trans.
Many i got were factory bore and no ring ridge. Ring and bearing and gasket that dude and run it.
I build heads myself but have them surfaced at a machine shop most of the time.
I have a large stone I can hand surface them but it takes a lot of time.
What is your health like ??? can you do the rebuild yourself?
