I tried doing a search for AR Racing once last nite.All I got was a bunch of gibberish.Do They Have A Website??
 
I'm not trying to step on any toes here, but here is another engine builder that does very good work, and priced about the same. He also is a 1981 owner :D

Diabolical Performance

Dave is out of Missouri.

Just another option or place to check ;)
 
I do now know of a website but they are very good about getting back about any questions you may have...also if you go to ebay and type in 350 engine...it will come up with 2 or 3 of there engines but for the price it really is tough to beat...
