Is the 350 a roller cam engine?
Is it a Vortec 350?

If its an older flat tappet cam style engine, its not harder to build but I dont build them very often now...most of the time I grab a late series 350 Vortec style as they give you more bang for the dollar spent.
Okay, so I am leaning away from the stroker and asked him what he would build the 350 for. He says he can build it with:

350 block bored and honed .030 over with new 9.5:1 compression pistons and rings. Performance flat tapped camshaft with .454/.454 lift. Ported runner cast iron cylinder heads with 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves. Custom matched valve springs with hardened retainers, high volume oil pump and double roller timing set. Says he can do that, plus offer a 3yr unlimited mileage warranty for $3368 installed. Deal or not? Not enough head work?
