Was this a running motor or was it just newly assembled? Heck yeah I'd say that was a great deal IMO. Heads alone are worth almost what you bought the whole long block for.

One thing.  If it has a 3.48" stroke it's a 350, not a 383.  Nonetheless, I'd say you still got a heck of a deal.

6" rods usually indicate a 358 depending on the over bore.
