Default What do you guys think?

I found a '70 Chevy 350 that came out of a truck. The guy thats selling it says it came out of a truck and has some power. The truck could smoke em all the way down the street. The bad side is it burns oil like mad. He Wants $350 and it runs. Is it a good price :confused:

Should be a 4bolt block if its out of a truck, check the ID#. I'ld say its worth it if it's in good shape.

What do you want to throw it in? If you're looking for a high performance engine and want to do the work yourself, then it's not a bad price.

I was going to get a 400 but I am planning on putting a supercharger on it after I rebuild it. And I heard that is is not good to put one on a 400. :chevy
