    it would be cheaper to just call morad and get a L67 short block shipped to you.

    yeah just pull the N/a heads off your engine and have them planed and install them on the new short block. if you get an engine with a steel oil pan you dont have to swap that either. if its aluminum you can either clearance the motor mounts or install a steel oil pan. install your N/a intake on the motor and you are done. the only other thing that i swapped was the harmonic balancer. all your accessories on your stock motor should bolt up. that will give you 8.5 to 1 compression and a way stronger bottom end. and its a lot easier to do the valve train upgrades with the heads off.

    only reason to change them is if the stockers arent the right length.

    I searched for Morad and he hasn't been active in almost five years. Is there an official website I can go to, to check prices?

    You're best bet is to email him. His eBay prices are pretty high.

    Well I just googled morads and found kind of like a junk yard website it looked like. How you choose your vehicle make and all. I messaged them through there.

    He said they have a long block for 350 but when I said I needed a shortblock he said he could take the heads off and sell it to me for 250. If there is nothing that has to be done to the block I may use my extra. I have a supercharged l67 motor out of another car already could I just use that one instead of spending an extra $300

    Is there any extra milling that you know of that has to be done? Or is it just stronger pistons and all in the l67? I can get the block done tonighy if needed then
