Thats one of the great things about running a SB Chevy motor. You could order a crate long block for what my Hemi heads alone would probably cost.
Good luck!
Good luck!

yeah i sold my stock motor to dodge for a replacement for a customer (not gonna say the ridiculous price i sold it for!) and im using that money to buy a good reliable 350 from one of their employees ha wont have as much power as my motor did but still definitely better than the 3.8 haha and i just need something to drive until boot camp

Semper Fi to you my compadre! Welcome aboard, Marines are always finding ways to make things work and most of the time with little or no resources.
