With 350's theyre all about the same. This just depends on how good it was rebuilt and/or if youre pushing the limits of the block. IMO unless youre going radical on RPM or forced induction the "high nickel" blocks are not really necessary. I would look into quality of the build,parts,condition and mileage

If Lotstas still has that engine forsale , just buy it , you can't buy the parts that are in it for what he's asking and atleast you know what you're getting.
As far as the one your looking at there's a whole lot more info needed [including price ] to know if it's any kind of deal but I kind of doubt it considering he either knows nothing about what he's got or is trying to con you with the infamous " Has Corvette part " :roll:
Almost as good as the guy that once told me his 305 had been bored and stroke to a 350 :lol: :lol:

Like I said you can't buy the parts for what that engine is selling for , good pieces and a hell of a good deal . I don't understand why anyone would turn down a deal like this and buy a Kijji motor that the guy selling has no idea what he has or what's in it
