I have torn down a 350 Chevy (1976) w/ a 2 bolt main that I was going to rebuild, but the guy at a local machine shop said that Chevy used a lot of 'junk' parts for years 1974-1985 and it may require new connecting rods and getting the crank turned. The balancing and blueprinting plus all the normal other items would cost $2,500 to $3,000. (I don't know if this included him doing the whole assembly, but for that price I think he should.) Anyway, does anyone have any knowledge of Chevy 'junk' being used fot those years? BTW...he included the heads being re-condition.
Maybe I should just sell this engine and get another? I saw a 283 and a 327 in my area that are already rebuilt for around $1,500 each. Thanks, Janine
