Average price on 350 rebuild?

[Lt.Del]

you will not be sorry with a 383, trust me.  They call those Stump Pullers for a reason.  The torque is awesome.

383 would be nice we will see what happens. If anybody else has had their 350 built lately and wants to share on price and option feel free to share.

hey when you do find out let me know because i have to rebuild a 383 for a 78 4x4

[fast823]

I was quoted about $1100-1200 for stock rebuild and about $500 more for a 383 build. They will pull it out and put it back in for about $350 also.

sgtdel, is that quadrajet on your 383 just a stock replacement? I dont have quite the motor you do but Im trying to decide if a holley 600 is going to be plenty big for my motor. Its a 350, 4 bolt main bored .040 over, comp 270h cam, stock vortec heads, gm performance dual plane intake, long tube headers and 2.5 inch dual exhaust.

What is the average price for rebuilding a 79 350. Thanks,

 About the same price if you were to buy a jasper long block. and you get a warranty

Yes.  I ordered the carb as a direct stock replacement for the 79 350, emissions friendly.  It fit on the edelbrock performer egr intake with no problem. It powers my stroker with no problem at all.   I think the model number was 1902 or 1903 or similar, i don't recall right now.

Just my opinion, but after i learned that those GM Goodwrench Crate engines are made in mexico... I can't bring myself to buy one. And after doing a little research on them i found that they still have quite a few flaws. Google Jasper engines, Vile suggested them to me and i spent awhile on their site learning about them. They are American made to strict standards and come with a really good warranty. They fix any "factory flaws" with the engines, updating them as much as they can while still keeping the price reasonable. The TBI one for my truck is $1800, so i would imagine that the carb'd one would be a little cheaper.

I've got an ATK crate 350 engine.  It cost me 1300 dollars with shipping.  It was built in Mexico, but comes with a 3 year unlimited milage warrenty.  I would not turn down a motor just because it was made in Mexico.  Most GM parts are made either in Canada or Mexico - thanks to NAFTA.

For a daily driver (stock), you can't beat the price.  If anything more, I would consider either building it yourself, or having it built local by a trusted machine shop.
