My Budget Chevy 350 Build

I have been planning my budget 350 build for a while and I just finally got the ball rolling when I received my parts back from the machine shop. I decided I would list my budget build and show some prices for everything so far.

  • Block - 010, 020 High Nickel Content, 2 bolt main, cleaned, standard bore and ready to build
  • Crank - standard, that was recently ground to .010"-.010" under
  • Pistons - New flat tops
  • Rods - stock rods
  • Heads - 14102191 Swirl Port TBI heads (don't judge, these cost $25.00 in great shape)
  • Intake Manifold - Early 70's non-egr cast iron 4 bbl.
  • Carburetor - Edelbrock 600cfm vacuum secondary
  • Distributor - Factory HEI
  • Camshaft - New stock truck cam
My intent was to rebuild an a 350 engine, not just throw some crap together and hope it runs. My main goal was low price and mild performance and I am sure I will get that with my current build. I have spent a total of $500 so far for all of the above items. My major costs are behind me. I will still need things like gaskets and valve stem seals but so far I believe this is a great price so far.
