Well I finally found a 76 350 and he wants 400 he said that the compression checks out fine do u think its a good price?

no offense but you should do a bit of research before posting new topics... or start a build/question thread so you can have everything located in one thread and spend less time jumping between.
but 400 sounds reasonable for a 350 in running shape.. i paid $425 for a 4.3 w/700r4 and t-case but the engine and trans need a rebuild.
do you have a transmission or do you need to buy one also?

i need a trand but i can get a turbo 350 for 75$ but it would need a rebuild

how serious of a rebuild?? check out monstertrans.com for a rebuild kit they have a few options for the turbo 350 thats where im getting the kit for my 700r4.

i would go for a rering kit for the 350 with new bearings rings gaskets etc they are cheap and easy to find.
few examples...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SBC-Chevy-350-S ... 64&vxp=mtr (rings rod/main bearings, gaskets)
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php <great source of parts i buy from them a lot

a kit for the tranny will be $70 for Overhaul kit includes friction clutch plates, paper gaskets, O rings, lip seals, metal clad seals and sealing rings. http://monstertrans.com/store/products/ ... ssion.html and $50 for the servo kit

or $375 for a pretty much complete tranny worth of rebuild parts http://monstertrans.com/store/products/ ... d-Kit.html

build it up a little not much and then run for a couple of years and then build it up some more

"He said compressions check out", are you going to take his word for it or check it yourself? Is is complete, intake to pan? Is the oil backed on under the valve covers? Sorry to say but if you don't know how to check out a Chevy smallblock how are you going to install it?

i have already checked it out and everything checks out fine

A lot of 1976 350's were low compression and are dogs when it comes to running well. Check the engine numbers and find out exactly what you have.
