[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4339394, member: 15054"] 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? [/QUOTE]
