hmm, what do you think of this engine should i buy it
help me decide if this is a worthy engine
guy at a bus garage where my friend works says
1981 350 block, 12,000 miles on it
torker intake
202 heads? 66 caprice (he wasnt clear)
alternator, water pump, fuel pump
i dont know if this guy was playing dumb or if he really diddnt remember
its almost a mystery engine
he said he ran ~13.1 in 79 nova (3.75 gear) he also had the engine in a 66 caprice before that
doesnt know/remember if its cast or forged but said prob cast
doesnt know/remember if its a 2 or a 4 bolt but said prob 2
doesnt know what cam is in it
said it pulled hard all the way to 6500 rpm, with a 650 carb (not included)
has a set of nova headers on it that he said just take em with the engine
said he wanted like 600 (pulled outta his ***, he diddtn seem to really care that much, could offer him less)
so to recap
-81 mystery engine, i asked him what it was bored to and he said he thinks its stock bore, which is also weird but he wasnt really sure about anything)
-torker intake (could sell with the cam and put in more streetable stuff, im guessing they were high end feeders)
-all the tin (oil pan, valve covers...)
-accesories (water, oil, fuel pump, alternator)
-nova headers (could sell)
-said its been sitting for about 4 years and he turns it over once in a while
he wants around 600 do you guys think its worth it so far, i havent gotten to look at it yet

Re: hmm, what do you think of this engine should i buy it
Nah dont do it. I bought a car with a 350 Crate but wasnt even sure it was a 350. The original size was a 305 .Didnt know the cam size, or anything. I was almost sure the cam that was in there wasnt computer compatible and the eprom was probably the same as the 305. I wound up doing a full rebuild of the engine because I dont like not knowing whats in my car. Spent alot of money just to feel comfortable.
