I'd like to know where is the best place to go to get an assemembled 350 short block.

I'm looking for a stock 350 bottom end, with dished pistons, so I can run a decent set of 58cc World heads I have.

I want to be able to put my own cam in it and whatnot, and as far as I know, Advance Auto only sells a longblock, but I could be wrong...

Advance gets $1100 for the longblock, and they say I cant change the stock cam out of it without voiding the warranty...

I can't tell you where to get it from, but I can tell you where not to. Do not, under any circumstances, order ANYTHING assembled or machined by Speed-O-Motive. Nothing short of con-artists. You might try your local machine shop. People get work done and can't pay for it them leave the stuff there. A 350 is common enough they might have one laying around that is for sale.

midwest motorsports sells assymbled long blocks. i have never used one or bought one, though. they seem like a good deal. a bunch of dirt track guys i believe.

GM performance parts....ebay.....plenty of places.....hell, build your own http://www.nastyz28.com/ubb/wink.gif

Why not ask around at your local machine shop(s). You may be plesantly suprized at the quality and pricing. It's always nice to have a local shop to contact when you need torque values, advice, or maybe a set of V/C gaskets.

napa has some great shortblocks(i think they sell shortblock)

but for the price of a shortblock a couple hundred more will get you a GM "general replacement" long block engine(can usually be found for around $1199 when on sale) normal price is like $1399

with a good intake/carb and headers they put out an honest 260HP/350ftlbs

jegs and summit i think have them...

if you wanted to run the better heads.. you could probebly sell the ones on the longblock for a couple hundred or keep them for spares

the 1994 Caprice motor is a ROLLER CAMMED motor is rated at 260 HP and is dirt cheap new from GM.

plus you can sell the heads and cam somewhere.
