Seems the new engines have been ok but the rebuilts have had problems.

Hi Becca. Coming to west Michigan any time soon?

I would buy a short block or long block (depending on the condition of what you have) 4 bolt 350 from a GM dealer. If you don't know of one that can give you a good price, buy a couple of hot rod car mags and check the adds. New can usually be had around $1200
