FYI - here's something to consider -
If the heads are warped, possibly shot, then that means that maybe some bearing got wiped as well. Could be a whole can of worms. Not really worth the effort of putting the time and $ into an engine you're going to rebuild soon anyways...
ON THE FLIP SIDE.....
I do have a 74 '350' engine here that I'm trying to sell. I was asking $350 for it, but since you're "in need", I could consider selling it for $300 and I'd deliver it....as long as it'd work for you. Has the pass car heads, as it wouldn't work with the stock truck manifolds I had in my suburban (I have bolted sbc headers to it and they fit). Its in long block form, clean, and painted orange a while back. Would need (possibly) your flex plate and starter (dunno the condition of them now)....maybe the water pump. And your intake and ignition combo. I'd even give you the stand its on so you could store your old motor. Lemme know, I'm free during the week after 'noonish'....
PM / email me if you have any questions....
