HELLO,  A BUDDY OF MINE HAS A 350 MOTOR OUT OF HIS 89' SUBURBAN.  ITS TOTALLY REDONE: 4 BOLT MAIN, NEW CAM (DONT KNOW WHAT KIND), BEARINGS, PISTONS, BORED .10 OVER, TIMING CHAIN, GEARS, OIL PUMP, AND THE HEADS ARE DONE.  ALL THIS DONE ABOUT A YEAR AGO.  ITS BEEN SITTING UNDER A TARP IN HIS BACKYARD.  NEVER INSTALLED.  WHAT DOES A BORED .10 OVER DO TO THE MOTOR?  HE WANTS $800.00 BUCKS!!  WHAT DO YA THINK?  ALL THOUHGTS NEEDED.   THANKS!!!  I WANT TO INSTALL THIS IN MY JEEP WRANGLER!!!!

Not a good deal. it will definitely cost you way more than 800 dollars in the long run because not only will you have to buy that motor but you will have to buy a GM transmission and then possibly have alignment problems because the rear end it made by Daimler Chrysler and not GM. Bored .10 over means that the cylinders inside the engine are .010 inches bigger all around. It probably be a very expensive project. Much more than I am guessing you have to spend.

how long has this been sitting outside? i'd have to say be real careful on this one. unless you know the person really well,you might to pass on this one,it definitly won't be a bolt swap to put this in a jeep,the newer it is the worst it will be.
