Engine Rebuild For Performance.

[08Malibu]

Back a short while ago the OP had made a post about trying to do a swap with around a $1000 budget all-in.

Benefit of going that route is you can get the car running and working cheap if not super fast in the first stage, then save up and do the rest in stages.

Granted, motors cost different everywhere but in these parts no solid good compression vortec 350 goes cheap.

Nevertheless, I don't see doing a reliable vortec 350 swap into an original v6 car where you own no parts to do any of it for around $1000, at least not around these parts. But the initial budget might be what you didn't know about...

The OP also said he doesn’t have the knowledge to rebuild an engine on his own. So if he’s going to pay someone to rebuild the v6, why not find a suitable core 350 and rebuild that? Or he can try and find a decent junkyard engine. If he pulls it himself he’ll learn something in the process.

Good short tail TH350 for $150-200 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did somebody set the wayback machine to 1985?

Sketchy, dirty, short tail TH350 on FB are $300-500, and NOBODY will guarantee them. Believe me, I've looked.

Look around GA... warranty on a fresh basic rebuild Chevy pattern th350 is around $500 no core from mom and pop shops. Used running are about 200, cores 50ish private party, and even pullapart charges 80 with converter.
