As far as building the engine for 3k I think that's a fairly decent price maybe a tish high. I just dropped my 350 off at the machine shop and was quoted 2k to get it rebuilt. I believe that price was considering that the crank was in good condition. I prepped the heads for them and did a majority of the teardown. I'm also hoping my cam is good. All those things would bring my price down.

As far as the price for the swap that's kind of all on how much it's worth to you. If you have some friends who would be willing to help for a day you could get it done for a whole lot less but more labor on your end. Or you could spend the money and have the machinist do it and it should be timed and tuned when you go pick it up.

Let us know what you decide!
