I got a 350 motor, automatic transmission, and every bit of the exhast for 300 bucks. Was that a deal or what?

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me...

thats what I thought

67ChevyRedneck · 01-04-2009, 11:52 PM

If the motor runs good, that's a good deal with just the motor itself, the other stuff is a plus

krue · 01-04-2009, 11:54 PM

mas09ts · 01-04-2009, 11:56 PM

yea it runs great, fresh rebuild about a year ago

1320tech · 01-04-2009, 11:57 PM

sounds like a deal to me and a small dog too

mas09ts · 01-05-2009, 12:00 AM

lol no the little one wasn't included she's my little helper

68chevy68 · 01-05-2009, 12:31 AM

I bought a 1969 350 block that was bored 30 over and had new freeze plugs in it for 300!! Sounds like a good deal to me..

Then I'd like to revise my statement to "You got a GREAT deal"

Gray Ghost · 01-05-2009, 01:09 AM

You stole it! People sell rebuildable blocks and tranny around here for that...not even running!

VA72C10 · 01-05-2009, 02:08 AM

I agree...great deal!!!

Walts_restoration · 01-05-2009, 04:35 AM

Yeah thats the home made air cleaner, the pipes are for ram air

*Dylan · 01-05-2009, 08:20 PM

I like that air cleaner idea! I might have to make myself a cold air induction system and use something like that for a carb hat. Would look pretty wicked on a V8 and be a cool looking custom touch.

mas09ts · 01-05-2009, 08:30 PM

Yeah I'm going to use it as dual cold air intakes.

**El Jay** · 01-05-2009, 09:17 PM

thief!

DirtyLarry · 01-05-2009, 09:28 PM

Heck yeah you got a good deal!

I sold this concoction a couple months ago for $400 and it wasn’t as fancy as what you got plus the one I sold had an unknown amount of miles on it.

Nice score!

Chevyman680063 · 01-05-2009, 10:55 PM

You got an awesome deal, now go buy a lottery ticket.

heavy71chevy · 01-05-2009, 11:29 PM

Yup....good deal!!!!!

Slik69 · 01-05-2009, 11:32 PM

You got a good deal even if they both needed rebuilding. Round here you would pay $150 just for a buildable core.. That's for just the shortblock without anything else. Looks like you got brackets and all.
