you want a 350, or an LT1?

and why no junk yard motors? its not like you cant clean a block, or paint it even.

Nah the cleansliness of it aint a big deal. I just figure if its in the junk yard people have taken a shit load of important parts off it already. Ive seen a corvette chasis tranny drive shaft and engine complete with wiring but that shit was almost as muchg as a used corvette. And a 350 is an LT1. its a 357ci if you wanna get technical. correct me if im wrong

nope...the LT1 is a 349.4 i think, and the 350's are like 349.9...357's are 4.040" bored stock stroke 350's

that really depends on the junk yard. A trust worthy one will test a motor, and pull it complete. Chances are if ppl are pulling parts off a motor, the motor is shit, junkyards do not like to break up motors for parts.
