That's a thought too. With my heads I'd be @9.6:1GM still had the ZZx shortblock for a resonable price last I checked.

I called them and looked at Speedway, that short block (and most everything from Chevy Performance) has been unavailable since last July. All they have is long blocks available anymore. He suggested I look at other builders.GM still had the ZZx shortblock for a resonable price last I checked. Compared to having a short block built now it may be a cheaper alternative.

Performance block should be align bored anyway. Splayed main caps are affordible and relatively easy to have fitted prior to align bore.I called them and looked at Speedway, that short block (and most everything from Chevy Performance) has been unavailable since last July.

Color me Still Looking.
I'm gonna tear this one down and see what happened and what I can salvage, I sure it's all gunked up with metal pieces, should be stripped, washed and rebuilt. With it being a 2 bolt main, I'm not sure it'll be worth that. Hopefully the heads (they should be), cam and lifters are still good.
There's not a lot of engine builders around here, I do have a line on one shop.You can go with a 350, 383 or 395(6) with the 350 block. Depending on damage found, they also make a 3.50" stroke crank that can be used to bring the pistons closer to the deck with less decking of the block.
Thanks for that.I was looking into them a while back myself.
Thanks for that.
What about ATK?

They only show 383 short blocks for over $4K, I did fill out their questionnaire asking if they have a 350 TBI short block with flat top pistons and roller cam bosses - we'll see.not sure what your budget is but check out Blueprint Engines if you haven't already. I know they used to test a lot of those on Engine Masters and seemed pretty good.
