Heres the thing I called a local guy who has ALL KINDS of car parts, says he has all kinds of chevrolet v8 engines layin around and transmissions. He is gonna sell me an engine ( which I am going to rebuild anyway) for 50 bucks, but he doesnt know the difference between a 350 and a 305. What is the bore and stroke of a 350?

Next question is this guy has all kinds of transmssions also. I am wanting either a 4 speed manual which he sells his standard trannys for 100 bucks and the autos for 125... How can I identify a four speed manual. If he doesnt have that I am going to go thee route of a automatic tranny. How can I identify these? Anything I should be on the lookout for? Thanks

He is seeling heads for 20 bucks apiece too...

By the way this is all for my 68 chevrolet truck project...
