lithium4750 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I live in Tucker, GA, its about 20 minutes outside of atlanta. And I've been all over this town to junkyards and looked online and can't seem to get a hold of any complete engines, plenty of trannys, but no engines. Anybody have any ideas? I'm really wanting to put it into my 260Z, and I would like to start as soon as possible. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerrari GTO Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I live in Marietta and found a really nice 4 bolt 350 in Lilburn on ebay at a good price. Be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kellysguy Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I've got them comming out of my ... It figures though, I want a 440 and can't find squat but SBC's are falling from the sky. BUT.......I do need a complete SBC 4 or 5 speed setup.........hmmmmmmm. I've got a complete running 350 crossfire motor out of an '84 Vette and a '93 pickup.

Michael Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 This brings up an excellent point: not all of us are comfortable with E-bay or other internet-based long distance purchases. There is something to be said for visiting a junkyard within driving distance and finding a usable engine - if only a core. This shouldn’t be hard for something as common as the 350 SBC! For a number of reasons this option is in decline. Junkyards are closing down, while internet "commerce" is pulling the rug out from traditional in-person sales. When I lived in the Los Angeles area I relied on the “Recycler” newspaper, or its web site; the latter combined internet reach and immediacy, with local convenience. Anyway, back to the original question… consider buying a 1970’s-1980’s Chevy truck with a 350; these remain relatively plentiful, while full-size automobiles of similar vintage are becoming rare, and in the vast majority have 305’s instead of 350’s. Or, if you plan on a complete rebuild with heavy reliance on aftermarket parts, perhaps local machine shops already have bare blocks.

specialk Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Better than a 70's - 80's truck, get a '96 - '01 w/a 350. This includes vortec heads and you'll be much happier starting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I can get ahold of a 454 but thats too big of an engine. I would rather have a 440 six-pak though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
