do you think it's a good price? i was thinking on rebuilding mine 1964 L-30 but engine shops are charging me around $1800 to rebuilt and at that price i don't have the new distributor and carburator quadrajet
do you think my 1964 2 speed PowerGlide and the rest of the parts (headers, ect) would bolt on directly?
Is your's the original engine for your car still? If so, I would consider having your's redone to keep the car original.
Otherwise, yes, that is likely a decent price but I would say the horsepower is likely a bit less than the 375 as advertised, not that it is really a big deal.

I think that would be a pefect plan to use this engine while you get the original rebuilt over time. $2200 sounds pretty fair with what it includes, I'd say that engine would be more like a true 300 hp.

Yes, as far as I recall, those two engines are identical externally. All your stuff should be a direct fit.
A 67 engine should be the last year of the old style crankcase vent system so even that should be correct. Also both would have originally had the cannister oil filter.
