I would look for a 1996 - 2002 5.7L Small block as a complete engine all accessories, brackets and everything on the front of the engine, They are in trucks, big SUVs including the escalade and even school busses. Second choice would be a first generation small block (1955-1986) I would not use one of those 87 to 95 engines, that's just my preference.
5.7 Short block Turbo that will fit in a 1985 Monte Carlo?

When you all say "look for"; you literally mean use a national junk yard search don't you? Because it sounds like you guys prefer not to buy from a big name like Jegs.

Is this the one you were saying you preferred?
Jegs wants $460 for a core and you will have no flexplate, harmonic balancer. alternator, PS pump. A/C compressor, brackets, pulleys, bolts or wiring.
If you can find a core for say $600 you are way ahead of trying to buy all this stuff one piece at a time.
Yes i would much rather have that engine than the earlier one.

Unless you are trying to build a factory appearance SBC car that utilizes factory wiring and ECM, please forget about TBI stuff. Do you have to pass any emissions testing where you live?
Wound up buying a 350 TBI out of a Chevy P/U and got a new 700r4 with it for $1,500 bucks. I'm going to have to shorten the trans a bit for it to fit. Guy sent me a video of it running.
I'll add shocks/springs to the front due to the extra weight if needed.
3 hour drive to pick it up; guess I have to buy a motor stand?
Let's all pray I don't screw this up.

Holy bejesus, how much you want for the truck without the motor and transmission.
I have trailer and will travel.

I'll ask him
it's in TN.I didn't get the truck, just the transmission and engine. He needed money, but you could tell this guy knew what he was doing. He had a lot of finished and unfinished projects.
If I can get the rest for $1000 or less when I roll up there tomorrow I'll let you know.
