Well I mentioned allready that I am somewhat new at all of this. Iam not completely ignorant when it comes to engines and related topics. But I am not to familiar with my engine. I have a 352, and I am impressed at how good it sounds. It still has a lot more to go I I take care of it. But at some point I will need to and want to rebuild it. I want to keep the same engine. But how do I determine what I can get out of it. Where do I look for information?
Also what is the compatability with the cleveland engine and the 352?

the Cleveland and the 352 do not interchange.

The 352 engine is part of the FE engine family. the 352, 360, 390, 427, 428 are all in the same family. They have different intake/head design, where the Valve cover laps over the intake, and the pushrods run thru the intake as well. They have Shaft mount Rocker arms, instead of the stud mount like on the Small Blocks and Big BLocks. The Bellhousing pattern is unique to this engine family as well.

Ive got a very well built 390 in my 75, its been bored .030, line honed, balanced, new pistons, heads were ported/polished, decked .010 to flatten and up the comp ratio, using a Edelbrock Intake, a holley Truck Avenger Carb, Hedman Long Tube Headers, etc etc Ive yet to have it on a chassis dyno but it should be upper 300 hp range, on the engine dyno with a single plane intake, 1050 holley and some HUGE hooker headers it was about 425-430 ...

I know this is a shot in the dark but whats the average price of an engine rebuild?

Thanks.

Depends if you are planning on doing it or paying someone else to do it?
