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.

Only looking for stock power,I'm thinking the same thing,I'm finding rebuilts for 1500 to 2500.Not worth messing with old motor,except old motor only had 87 hours,female use on it.Hate to throw it away.

JB Weld/Marine Tec the crack

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

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

Keep it as a chandelier

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.

I took the engine to a local shop that does marine engines.$1800.00 for them to take old engine apart,mic all pieces,all new bearings and pistons with rings,assemble complete engine with marine gaskets in one of there blocks including all machine work with 1 year unlimited hour warranty.Their shop is only 30 minutes from me and I couldnt beat the deal,lets see how it works out.Best part is I droped it off today and will have it back on Fri.

dont you already have alot of leftover used parts from your last two rebuilds that you can use ??

NOPE,this project is a small block,other project is BIG BLOCK.I just cant get the parts to bolt on.
