What years are best for the olds 350? Really want to get one and get it rebuilt and put it in my 85 delta 88.

 

Depends upon what you want to do with the engine.

Any will work well for a daily driver/cruiser.

The 68-76 have solid main blocks; 77-up have windowed main webs. Probably doesn't matter unless you are going all out strip/max power.

68-72 have better flowing heads/smaller combustion chambers than the 73-76 #8 heads. The 77-up heads are not good candidates for a performance build but may be acceptable for a driver/cruiser.

 

It's really going to be for a daily driver/cruiser! But I would like the possibility to build for performance if I want. So I can roll with the cool cats! What is a good price range for a olds 350? I'm starting my search

 

I would look for a core for no more than $300. I have seen them as cheap as $150. Also saw a 307 for $600. Don't fall for, it was running when pulled. They are all cores until proven different. Running moter $500 and up. my .02
