SBC parts info needed

[Call Her Bu]

Hey GBF, I recently bought a long block motor and the front serpentine setup. Pic attached. What parts are left for me to buy? I have the intake manifold and carb. I know im gonna need a harmonic balancer, don’t know which one but besides that I’m at a lost. It’s going to just be a cruiser. So nothing high performance or anything. TIA. I also have a th350 that I’m needing to figure out what torque converter and flywheel I need also.

Thanks GBF.

You need to find out how the engine is balanced. If it’s a 1 piece rear seal they were externally balanced on the flexplate and neutral up front. In a 2 piece seal 350 it’s neutral and neutral. But look at pioneer street strip balancers from summit. And a summit flexplate will be fine.

1 piece rear main and there is a list of recommended components here.
If they have a hydraulic roller cam upgrade I would get that.

Another thing to consider is ATK is now charging a $510 core so if you don't have a usable 350 block to give them then this is out of pocket.

you have to pay to ship the core back? or do they?

I think the biggest issue for many is they are going from a stock 305 to a new upgraded SBC so their core would not be accepted.

I must have skipped this part where you already bought this stuff (selective reading), I thought this was in your cart for consideration for an upgrade.

Core Policy​

For core pickup please go to: WWW.COREPICKUP.COM and fill out the request. You MUST have your serial number off your products prior to submitting the request.

Due to the increased scarcity of cores and quality of cores ATK has no choice but to implement a core charge on our High Performance Engines. Once ATK receives your core and inspects it, it will take about 30 days to get your refund in the mail. If you did not purchase your engine directly from ATK, your core credit would be reimbursed by the company you purchased it through, NOT from ATK.
To schedule a Core Pickup please go to: https://mycarcare.info/request-a-core-pickup/ and follow the steps. ATK does cover the freight to get your core back to us. You will just need to have it palletized or in a crate free of all fluids for pickup.

• Engine Size/Family Qualifications – The core returned must be the same cubic inch as the core purchased i.e. Chevy 350 for a Chevy 350, NOT a 305 for a 350 core. In regards to Year/Generation ATK will accept any for your core return.
• Core Condition– All cores returned must be in rebuildable condition to receive core credit. Like-for-like cores returned without visible holes or cracks in the block, not missing any parts, drained and bolted to the undamaged supplied skid will receive full credit.
• Short Block Cores – A short block core will consist of the same components the engine is shipped with (Complete Block, Crankshaft, Connecting Rods & Pistons). If you decide to ship the engine back with any additional components (Camshaft, Heads, Etc.), no additional credit will be issued.
• Engine Cores – A engine core will consist of the long block which will include (Complete Block, Crankshaft, Connecting Rods, Pistons, Camshaft, Cylinder Heads, Valve Train & Timing Components). If you decide to ship the engine back with any additional components, no additional credit will be issued.
