Nordic95

Odds are that you get get a long block or a low hour take out for near the cost/time/labor that you will have in taking apart and putting back together the one that you have. You are just looking for a standard SB chevy, not any exotic high performance BB.

Yea, that the problem. A simple no winterize, and a bunch of good parts sit there and are worth very little. Got any junk yards around that have any blocks for a couple hundred? Or just take the motor apart, and keep the internals in case anything on the rebuild every breaks. rods/heads/pistons/oil pump etc

Thanks Nordic95

I have seen pressed in pins make noise with change in load. Dont look like that was your problem though :eek:

Re: Engine noise

You cannot go wrong with the GM crate 350. All new parts and basically ready to drop in. Snatch the heads and add Felpro stainless head gaskets and you're set. Add a cam and you'll make a little more power. I think the cost is less that $1500 from Summit.
