FEM-MHP126-000 $259.95 - Standard Bore, Standard main 350 Rebuild kit on summit, this includes new flat-top pistons, rings, rod bearings, main bearings, cam bearings, gaskets, high volume oil pump, freeze plugs, plastigage, assembly lube.

We can get this in a 30 over size too, if we could score some cheap/free machining.

There's a cheaper kit, no pistons, cam bearings, and a few other things - depending on how it looked after tearing down, might could go that route, it's 139$ or something.

the cam-shafts, if we went with summit, we could get a kit with the lifters for as cheap as 70$, or 170$ for a lunati voodoo cam/lifter kit. I am not sure what heads are on it, so I'd have to do some research to see about the max lift, but these cams are usually in the .460/.500 lift range with stock rockers.

Summit Steel Roller Tip Rocker Arms - 89$

Summit True Roller Timing Sets - 31$

not sure what shape the heads are in, might have to buy a rebuild kit for those as well, I can't find out exactly what the heads are without checking the casting numbers - but i'd guess maybe 150$ - 170$ for that? Kits include:

* Valve springs
* Steel retainers
* Valve locks
* Guideplates
* Rocker arm studs
* Valve seals

Not sure what the carb is, i think its an edelbrock, but could be wrong. Anyway, the rebuild kit on that is $36.95 for a performer series carb. I'm not even 100% sure it even needs a rebuild.

Cheapest I could find on a 3Spd Auto Transmission from Summit was like 645$ - So, this is kind of an unknown, because A) I'm sure we can find A transmission in a junkyard, in an unknown state of dis-repair, or buy a rebuild kit which is why I picked a 3spd...cheaper, and easier to rebuild if we went that way.

Further Unknowns: Connecting the transmission to a driveshaft, to a rearend..how do people do this? Buy special yokes? Swap in a GM rearend?..or is that pretty standard across the board? Also - fabricating, or getting made a driveshaft..no idea the costs on that..anyone?
