I was going through a Jegs magizine and I noticed they sell brand new 350 engines, but they are incomplete. (as far as engines in my price range) Looks like they need an intake manufold, carb, plugs, wires, intake gasket and distributer. I have all of these parts minus the distributer from my old engine that I am trying to sell. Do you think I can bolt these parts on a new crate engine, have it installed and call it a day? I am seriously thinking about it. All I will need is the distributer and it'll be set or so I think. I would rather buy a junkyard engine, but who knows how many miles are really on it or what it needs?

Any thoughts on this?
