As most of you know, the Talon is sold. The guy that bought it came to me the today and mentioned that a guy he knows that builds engines has a built Chevy 350 (which I'm looking for).

13.0:1 Compression
Balanced and Blueprinted
324 or 327 heads (can't remember the number), with valve jobs, all upgraded.
No manifold (I have one)
No Carb (I'd need to upgrade possibly, I have an Edelbrock 600).
Built for the strip.
$2500.

Here is the thing, has never been fired and was built 15 years ago.

I told the guy who bought my car to have the guy pull the heads off and see what it looks like inside and take pictures.

For $2500 you can buy a 350 and build it yourself. I wouldn't want to touch anything that was built 15 years ago. Technology has made a big difference in manufacturing parts for the 350. Today's parts are far superior to whatever is in that motor.

Any one can build a bowtie motor. They are a dime-a-dozen these days. I wouldn't buy that.

There is a 350 crate motor for you for $2500. Personally I would get an LS series. 350s are heavy cast iron blocks with cast iron heads. LS = aluminum goodness.

Thanks for the link.

I would like to have one of the LS series engines. I would not mind if it were fuel injected with a modern computer system either.

I was simply wondering if buying that engine, assuming it was in great shape was worth it.

I'll hunt some more.
