Then I would say $350 is too much for a core that you have to overhaul. Now, if access to the entire truck for other parts that are needed is included, then I would say it's OK.

For comparison, I am repowering my truck right now from 300 Six to 460 and I bought an entire 1990 F250 with less than 90K original miles on it for $800 and the seller even delivered it to my house. I get all the parts I need plus I don't have to overhaul it. All it needs is a new oil pan gasket and in it goes.

Im sure ill be able to find one, Thanks for your help guys. So 350 is a decent price for the engine? Just talked to the guy and he says i can have the transmission along with the engine and any parts on the truck that i need.

Yes, if you get all that, then $350 is fine IMO.
