Whats a 350 carb engine block worth that needs rebuilt?
As stated in a few a other my 96 vortec block in my 90 C2500 needs rebuilt due 3-4 more rod knocks. I have no idea on the condition of crank and cam til I tear it apart. This vortec block was well worked over and abused from lack of care of PO's.
I have thought to find a 350 carb block that needs rebuilt and build that up for more power and torque on both top and bottom. I would reuse the TBI heads and intake on carb block. The 2500 would used for as much as heavy duty hauling and towing. Maybe even have registered at dmv for 10,000lb.
I would keep the 96 vortec block and see if I could rebuild later to fit in my 97 when needed.
But meanwhile I would the engine in 88 parts truck til I find and rebuild a 350 carb block.
So how much is too much to pay for a 350 carb block that needs rebuilt?
