350

justinsstang · February 25th, 2008, 12:01 PM

im going to do a chevy 350 project... how much can i pull a 4 bolt main 350 v8 from a junkyard for, avg price from yard to yard?

first i got to buy a stand... how much are those too?

i'm going to slowly build on it for a couple years as i get money, then my dad is gonna go half in on helping me get an old car, prolly a nova or duster or somethin to drop it in, and help me build the car.

instead of workin on my DD, im gonna just build a different engine now and put it in something else... since learning to build an engine is my real interest neway.

nothin to do with a v6 man...wrong section

moond0ggie · February 25th, 2008, 12:18 PM

Sounds like a fun project,

The standard price for a rebuildable core, long block Chevy 350ci has been $350.
You might find a stand for $45.

GreenFaleen · February 25th, 2008, 12:19 PM

itll be moved, but stay away from a 83+ 350 your getting junk, try to find an old 71-74 350 and remove the emissions stuff, probably looking at 500 if you pull it from a scrap yard 1000ish if the scrap yard pulls it for you

dude building a motor is not just nut here nut there
each piston must face the correct way
each bolt the correct hole
each main cap in the EXACT spot
each bearing must be placed the correct way when your putting the new bearing in
you must check end play
make sure your thrust bearing has the correct width on it .1 will makea worlds different
most importantly your rod caps MUST go on EXACTly as they came off, if you forgot and dont know which way it goes and was switched around you can easily damage the motor
Plastigaging journals
properly lubricating the CORRECT side of the rod, main and thrust bearings
also hexing your cylinders and checking for correct wear

and thats only some of just whats IN the block
if you dont know what all that means i wouldnt attempt it at all

Onemanzu · February 25th, 2008, 07:42 PM

... do your homework... also might want to pick up a speedway motor catalog... they have tons of chevy parts and they are at low prices cause they usually cater towards the dirt track racers so they try to cut them a break...

also for you 2.3'rs they have some parts for yall if ya care

justinsstang · February 25th, 2008, 11:19 PM

ok anyway i went to the junkyard today... actually 4... nobody has 350 carb motors nemore!

anyway. one place has a 302 (not out of a fox body or any mustang for that matter, and it's furl injected), a 351W, and a 460...
all of them are complete, as in they start, and cost 250 each..! not bad? what to dooo...

itschristorres8 · February 25th, 2008, 11:28 PM

you found a 460? from what car?

Regency 2007 · February 25th, 2008, 11:32 PM

the 460 is most likely from a mid 80's f150

justinsstang · February 26th, 2008, 10:03 AM

i didn't ask what it was from. i think im going to buy it tho. i have 400 dollars, i could buy an engine stand and they load up the engine in my dads truck for free... but i have no way of getting it off the truck lol.

get some chaings and hang it from the ceiling... if you have a garage or something with open raftors... just make sure that you grab like 6 with the chain to help disperse the wieght...

justinsstang · February 26th, 2008, 11:14 AM

6 raftors you mean? dont think our chain is that long lol

justinsstang · February 26th, 2008, 11:14 AM

and yes we have a garage w/ open raftors. so that idea could work. but longer chain

you need an engine hoist
and this be able to know this:

each piston must face the correct way
each bolt the correct hole
each main cap in the EXACT spot
each bearing must be placed the correct way when your putting the new bearing in
you must check end play
make sure your thrust bearing has the correct width on it .1 will makea worlds different

Plastigaging journals
properly lubricating the CORRECT side of the rod, main and thrust bearings
also hexing your cylinders and checking for correct wear

and more

vfast · February 26th, 2008, 05:01 PM

dude get some 2 x 4's and slid it off the truck

mpboy · February 26th, 2008, 05:08 PM

yea, if its a project cool, youll get to learn, but christorres is right, the biggest things about motors, atleast the 4.6, is the mesurements. if you off just a little you can screw som shit up, and remember there will always be unexpected shit that breaks

mixedbreed02gt · February 26th, 2008, 06:45 PM

go with the 351W it's a bad ass motor and your options are endless.

408, 427. they make some wicked power, especially when you add boost....a 351 with a procharger will dish out well over 1,000 hp with the right setup.

just make sure you make it forged.

and i wouldnt say dont attempt it, just learn as you go and make sure everything is right, get a manuel, i like chiltons, and just take your time, make sure you know where every bolt goes, and if you take anything off, and i mean anything, make sure it goes in the exact spot you took it from. plastic baggies help to keep orginized. and some things can have lets say 3 bolts holding it on, and they can all be diffrent lengths, so make sure the right bolts go in the right hole.

vfast · February 26th, 2008, 07:27 PM

1st guys it's an engine , not a damn motor

dude make sure it's a 4 bolt main....a 400 sbc would be a better platform
the 383 stoker kits are nice and cheap.....hey and no split blocks at 500 hp's *LOL*

justinsstang · February 26th, 2008, 11:08 PM

i really think i wanna go with the 460... my dad says i shouldn't get the windsor because windsors are junk, and i should find a cleveland instead.

but i mean... 460s meaner neway, and more potential... why not get it since it's the same price, right?
