Original 1975 350 long block

[Calvin C.]

I have a original 1975 350 that was in my 72 that i have stored in garage. I was going to use it for a build someday except more than likely I'll use a LS unless its a restore. It has heads, intake, distributor and few other parts i believe are all from the original motor. It ran fine just smoked too much.

Is this worth selling, can someone make good use of it, i was trying to avoid the shipping hassle.

thanks
Cal

It will be worth more to someone restoring a 1975 car than someone needing a block to build a hot rod motor. Add the block casting date found behind the distributor (should read like B115 for Feb 11, 1975), the casting number of the block on the rear bell housing mount flange (should end in 010 I believe) and the head casting dates found under the valve covers to this post. Those numbers are of interest to restorers. Distributor also has part number and date code.

I have a 75 L48 complete long block and a 75 L82 bare block and heads. They are used GM engines with the highest value to the original cars. The L48 was/is pretty common and low performance, the L82 was actually not a bad engine once the exhaust was opened up
