Tempting me with cubic inches I see LOL I shouldn't even ask, but what does he want for it? A runner or just a core?

I dont know what he wants for it I asked his the other day and he said make me an offer. I think it might have some bottom end bearing problems but im not sure for sure. Other than Im sure it has good heads. Its in a 82ish 1-ton right now. Im off work today and my brother is off today too if you get back to me before I decide to go bug him I will ask him any questions you have.

Well the best I could offer on something like that would be about $150, cause it falls into the "unknown core" catagoey. I paid $400 for the last big block and it was garenteed crack free and was a choice (less than 25k miles) gen iv, then I sold it a month later. I dont pay much for junk cores just cause I dont know if they are cracked. Im on my way after work tonite to pick up my 6th 350 short block, I scored it for $50 which is fair since half the time they are cracked, and I only use the blocks.

that's where all the 350's are ending up....j/k

oh about the cooling lines... when i ran a tranny cooler on my GTO, I went to the junkyard and got the fittings out of a tranny along with about 6 inches of the lines, then I went to the auto parts store, got some fuel and oil resistant hose that could take 150 psi and I flared the line pieces I had, pushed the hoses over and clamped with good hose clamps. Then I had the option of running my hoses anywhere.
Or Russell has braided hoses that will work for that, but that defeats the budget buildup most of us work with.

Soon i'll change my userid to "350BOY"

I just installed my transmission cooling lines this past weekend. You will need 3/8 brass fittings to hook up to the tranny and radiator. I used fuel lines for the hose's. I bought brass fittings that had a flared or bell end which went into the radiator, and had a 90 degree bend in them. For the tranny you can get a straight fitting that has a bell shape on one end. These fittings cost more, but you will not take a chance braking the ends that they screw into on the tranny and the radiator. This is TH350 tranny. Hope this helps.

I think I can figure the trans lines out now just a matter of making the time to physically do it. LOL there is no joke about Dereks garage he should have a sign out front that says something like "Small block parts depot" By the way thanks for the torque converter.

Hey THANK YOU for helping me unload all that crap man! When the streets dry out we'll go have some fun in the nova!
