Hello all my fellow Camaro5'ers. I am looking for a small block Chevrolet engine. Preferably a 350. I am in the process of decorating my newly finished basement. As you have guessed, it will be decorated with the car theme in mind. I am using the engine block as a base for the coffee table. I am going to remove the crank and use it as a lamp base. I am trying to stay around $100 bucks + shipping costs only because this will not be an engine built for performance. I would even accept an engine that was blown or is cracked. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
FFPM73

You could probably get one from a local auto wrecker for nothing if you don't care if it runs or not. jus my .02

Got one in the shop, $150.
It still has the accessories and Edelbrock VCs on it. Throw a carb on it and a dist and it will run.

Just go to a junk yard and tell them you just need a core 350. Should be able to pick one up for cheap.

You could also look around for a blown up LS engine. I'll see if I have any dead LS blocks you could buy for CHEAP
