Not looking for anything to radical just yet. If anybody has anything let me know. Thanks!
305 or 350? How much are you looking to spend? How complete do you want it, carb to oil pan or just a long block? I dont have anymore spares myself but I have a bud that has several dozen so Im sure he has something that would work. I can tell you he wont give away a 350 for next to nothing but hes prolly got some 305s that can prolly be had for cheap (Im guessing around 150 bucks for a long block 305 but dont quote me on that).
