Not sure which section to post this in so here goes, two part question:
I've got a 350 out of an early 90's 1 ton chevy. I plan on getting it rebuilt but have no idea of the cost involved. I was told that it had low compression in one cylinder and would need to be rebuilt. I don't want an all out race motor just an engine to run on pump gas , preferably reg or 87 octane. Does anyone have any ideas of how much a rebuild would cost and who does good work for reasonable money in central Texas?
It will be going into an 84 Chevy K10 with a 700R4 and NP208 combo. The axles are 4.11. I might put in 4.56 down the road. The tires will be at max 36 x 12.50 most likely 35x12.50 all terrains on the street. The biggest thing the truck will tow is a low boy trailer. Hauling an atv here and there. I would like to drive it onst or twice a week on the road to keep the battery up. What would be a good buildup for the engine? I have little experience with engines really. I've helped put together a few race engines that went into drag boats but I didn't blue print them or plan them, I just helped turn the wrenches. I mean as far as camshaft,piston, heads what would be a ideal driver/occasional hauler engine? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
