    value of a 350 needing rebuilt

    Well I've collected quite a bit of scrap around the house the 3 months my truck wasn't running I'd say with out the engine I'd still have 100-200 dollars of scrap so I'll be going to the scrap yard anyway but if I can get 100 bucks by selling it it would beat the 40 bucks I'd get from scrap

    what carb to use?

    The problem I have with quadrajet is they are all remanufactured and the quality of them depends on the person who rebuilt it meaning I might get a great one the first time or it may take 10 of them to get a good one

    new engine for my 85 chevy k10 outdoorsman

    I'm leaning more towards the 350/260 cause I live in the mountains and use the truck on the farm so torque is of more importance as far as other engine components all of mine are still good and my 350 had over 300hp with a holley stree avenger carb. Looking at the jegs site I can get a complete...
