Here's a 1979 Chevy 350 with a 650 Holley spreadbore carb. I plan to put this engine into my '75 Bug convertible on a custom chassis, of course.

  • Well first off- why throw money at it when it doesn't run ? If it wont fire- then the timing has to be off...... Get a haynes manual and read up on setting the timing.

  • ....its not that hard... I think if you can rebuild an engine, you should be able to figure out how to build a stand for it with some boards.....

  • i have a 79 block im trying to sell how much do you think i could get out of it

  • @erico39shields1 If it is a mostly complete engine - heads/block/pistons/etc...and it runs or turns over at least,  depending on the locale- from $250-$350 If it is just the bare block with no pistons or crank or anything- maybe $100 ? Just my guess - I bought a complete, but disassembled 350 , parts in boxes for $100

  • it has gas in the carb i dont no about spark how do i check tht

  • @simmymini Pull the coil wire off the distributor and put it near metal....valve cover or something- about 1/8 of an inch gap- have someone crank it over and see if there is spark.

  • so i did a few things to my 79 camaro new double roller timing chain edelbrock new coil alternator and most of the seals intake manifold waterpump timing cover etc and i have spark and starting fluid watever it takes but the engine wont even spudder just cranks slowly and if im lucky it will backfire ive been adjust the ignition timing and still nothing i used two batteries to it ive tried to jump it from other cars still cranks slowly and wont spudder i need help with it

  • is that engine on a mini pallet?! you gotta teach me those home made engine cradles! i really cant afford any welding or metal or anything for that matter. i got a budget motor. i just finished rebuilding a chevy 350 from a 79 camaro, but i got no cradle to start it on. ive seen guys work with wood and cynder blocks. and two by fours...any tips please!

  • @simmymini Tried anything ? Does it have spark ? Does it have gas in the carb ?
