My plans were to build a carbed 350 at vo-tech to put in my truck, but with the gas prices going out of control, I may just keep my EFI 4.3 v6 and go for some better gas mileage. So I want to know how much money I can get out of the engine. It is a 1975 Chevy 350 smallblock 2 bolt main (This is why I think the price will drop) It has been torn 100 percent down, and rebuilt with all new bearings, a truck RV cam, bowl blend and polish on the heads, 3 angle valve job, flat top pistons, aluminum intake, and a fresh coat of chevy orange:cool: I want to know what you guys think I can get out of it, it will be ran and dynoed before it leaves tech, so I can reassure them it runs. I really have never priced an engine, so I have no idea on the price. Any help is appreciated.

I know, thats why it sucks...All I know about the insides are I bought a entire rebuild kit from carolina auto supply so I doubt they are the top name brand, but I know they will hold up as my freinds have bought these parts before. A grand would be great to get out of it, I was thinking more like 500-600, is that too low?

I have 175 in machine work, 50 in a cam (bought it off my instructor, he had it laying around, truck RV cam) 260 into rebuild kit.
