pontiacfreak142 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I think so! so basically i had a SBC 350 lined up for a 100 bucks. Well that fell through because my dad, for some reason had a change of mind (after giving me the idea to get the 350 in the first place none the less) and didnt want me to get it due to the fact that it would take up space in the garage. I was working on talking him into it, but another friend ended up picking it up. So today we were over at a friends house drinking and playin some cornhole, when i look over to see a some what stripped down motor just sitting in the drive way. I went over to check it out and remembered it had came out of the friends mid 90's chevy 1500 pick up and was a 350. My dad had helped him pull it so i asked what was actually wrong with it. they said it just wasnt running on a few cylinders when they pulled it. so i was bored and pulled the heads off, just to find a blown head gasket as the culprit. I asked if he was interested in getting rid of it and he said yea. Well i managed to get my dad to go along with it and asked how much he wanted for it. He turns and looks at me and says " you get me a 12 pack of busch light bottles and its yours" lmao. Needles to say i bought him 2 cases but ended up walking away with a prefectly good 350 for 15 bucks lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitual Sinner Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Damn, if I knew you were looking for a 350, you could've had the one I just took to the scrapyard (was tired of it taking up space in the garage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Best deal ever? No. That engine will need a lot of changes to make it into anything worth while. Not a bad deal for a beer trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stop asking your dad for advice because your 22!? im 25 and id consult my father for advice any day if i need it.... just as i consult friends or anybody else that might be of help, whatever the matter at hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiacfreak142 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 your 22...why do you still ask your dad anything? for several reasons. some of which are the fact that he pulled the motor out of the truck, hes worked as a GM tech for almost 25 years, and its his garage this would be in lol.
