The motor is a 350 bored .30 over with a new steel standard crank, new pistons and assembled. The heads, carb, manifolds, starter, alternator and everything to finish are there, but not installed on the short block. I've been asking $4-500 and people are looking at me like I'm crazy. Do I really need to sell the whole thing for less than what I paid for the new crank?... ie $200????

How about the truck... a semi-clean shortbed 4x4 with a 4 spd tranny, the new motor mentioned above sitting on a stand, 16" wheels and decent "big" tires... nothing special, but not a junker truck either. Am I better off pulling the tranny and transfer case then scrapping the rest of the truck?

I negotiated down the other day to $600 for both the truck and motor... the guy laughed and said that he'd take them both off my hands for $250.... at best $400 for everything if I finish the motor and install it.-- I don't know about you, but that seems crazy to me when I can't find a piece of crap rusted 70's model Chevy around here for less than $1500 with a motor that has 200K on it.

Any advice or suggestion?
