Looking to buy a reman or rebuilt or even new 350 sbc for my camaro. I am trying to get it for around 1100 to 1500. Does anyone know where I could pic one up.

Grab a core from your local salvage yard for $150-250. Then take it to your local machine shop. The shop that I use (which is an excellent shop) charges $632 to reman a shortblock and just over $800 for a longblock. That's with cast pistons and a stock cam, but hypereutectics are something like $30 more. You can buy your own cam as well. The stock cam costs something like $34, so they subtract $34 from the build and you buy whatever stick you want for about $120.

So, doing my math on the worst case scenario, lets say $250 for the core, $850 for the reman, $30 for better pistons, $100 for specific cam; that's $1230 plus tax. If you're "smart" you'll buy a vortec core that comes with the good heads. You'll spend more on the core and a few extra bucks on the build, but $1300-1400 should get the job done and get you 350 hp easy. Otherwise you might get terrible smog heads and end up with 250 hp. Starting with a vortec could basically mean 100 hp for $100 extra bucks.

How much more to install in the car. I don't have tools or the time. I am in the military so time is an issue.

take a look at www.summitracing.com and look at longblock 350 engines...they are about the cheapest I have seen anywhere. entry level with all new components:

I use Eddings Engine in San Fernando. I have a machine shop next door to me downtown, but make the 35 mile drive up there cause I like how they treat me.
