the 350 i supposedly bought was a 305. i was dumb and didnt check the numbers. wheres the damn engine stamping on these things anyways? all im in search of is a good 350 block. i wanna start from scratch. so anyone who is holding a extra 350 block and would like to see it go to good use, shoot me a pm. aint lookin for anything already built or once built. just a old motor that was tore down and needs put back to life. anything will help guys. thanks for your time.

haha all of those you just posted, ive already called about. no call backs yet. im still searching. for a street/strip/cruiser motor, what would be my best bet? i dont need crazy torque or for it to go 190 mph. i want something that sounds good, pushes you back in the seat when jumpin on the highway, and isnt afraid to make the tires scream. which would be better? 2 or 4 bolt? i have a 350 turbo trans that i plan on keeping, and i want a posi. whats a good general setup? if possible gimme the whole run down from intake to block, to converters to rear ends. thanks. just need a budgeted price list.

I have read many articles with companies making up to 800hp with a 2 bolt main 350 block, so I am assuming a 2 bolt main block would be just fine for you. Plus, everybody thinks that the 4 bolt main block are worth $100 more (even though there were like millions produced) As far as rear end options, if you have to build a 7.5" 10 bolt you might as well just buy an 8.5" 10 bolt. If you have the resorces to have brackets welded to a rear end, then get an 8.5" 10 bolt from a ZR2 S10. They are much much cheaper than somebody selling a Grand National or 442 rear end. The S10 rear is the correct width and is equipped with a 3.73 gear ratio.
