I have a Chevy 350cid 1996 to 2000 5.7 Stock Rod Question,
I'm building a 400HP (Build/Dyno sheets say 420HP) out of a 1 piece rear main 4 bolt vortec block using vortec heads. I have the heads and a 2 bolt 1 piece rear main block now, but I've found a 4 bolt main 350cid 1998 vortec long block that run when heads were pulled and sold (long block is from a HS friend in the office of a salvage yard) I can buy the 4 bolt main 350cid 1998 vortec long block for $200 and I'm after the block & rods. is $200 a fair price for a 4 bolt main 350cid 1998 vortec long block ?
I know the rod question has been gone over, but in your opinion is the stock GM 1998 350 5.7 rods worth reconditioning ? I won't use the pistons or crank, just the block & rods, if the stock GM rods are good quality.
