none of them Laughing

iv found a 327 and a 350 they both are around 150-200

then maybe a little more information. What parts are included in each, what condition are they in, how much work do they need, etc.

You can make cool motors out of both of them, 327's have some really really great reasons to use it, but 350's certainly also have a lot of good points.

Honestly, considering the state of your car, I would get something that will actualy run, for more than a week. Wink

Corporate engines are your problem, you need a Poncho in a Firebird. Laughing

$100-200 motor is going to land you in the same boat.

i say the 305 thats in it cause i dont think it's blown but you just put some really bad jue jue on it.

Whichever you can afford.

If you go to look at a new motor, rent a compression gauge/tester. Have someone rotate the balancer by hand, while you check the compression on each cylinder. I wouldn't settle for any motor with less than 120psi in each cylinder.

If they won't let you compression test it, I would pass on it.

If you weren't so far I'd give you the 305 out of my bird... Needs valve seals but it did okay.

I would take that cam no problem, if he wanted to let it go (without the rest of the motor) but it would sit around a while until I get my tuning stuff and get good enough to tune for it..
