if you look carefully you can see that it is a GM engine in it.

Yeah, it said in the advert its a 350 and a slush box.

weaker engine has been changed to a more powerful gas 350

I do feel sorry for this woman having to liquidate his stuff. I can't imagine clinto g/f having to move all my junk if I met my demise.

More powerful 350? More powerful than what? A lawn mower?

Well, significantly more horsepower than the stock motor. Probably similar torque, but I'm not sure on that. 300+ ft/lbs of torque isn't unusual for a 350, is it?

I have no idea how it would perform in a deuce, but I'm guessing that's what she's basing the claim on.

It might be more powerful if you kept it to the floor and in the upper RPM ranges all the time but I don't think I would want a disposable combination like that in a truck.

not stock. it needs to be disposed of properly as a parts truck

That's probably true, but I doubt she knows anything about that.

Maybe this is sarcasm, in which case color me stupid, but it seems like an awful waste. Why not drive it as is or, if you're worried about it being stock, re-power it with the stock powerplant and tranny? For $900+ you could do just about anything you want.

The 350 is at least an order of magnitude better than the 302 GMC...

The 302 is not a BAD engine, I've owned several. But, it is decades behind a good 350 small block. If you want any HP out of a 302, you'll have to keep it wound up too.
