Selling a mostly complete 375hp short block from a 1970 Nova SS396. Nice original standard bore 3969854 block dated K 18 9 that has been stored with Cosmoline since it came out of a '67 Chevelle in 1991. Original steel crank is still std/std and I have all 8 rods but I think two of the pistons have gone MIA. Looking for $1400 for everything which I think is a pretty fair price for as rare of a setup as this is. Pickup in the Detroit suburbs or I'll strap it to a pallet and drop at a truck terminal if the buyer covers any costs (e.g. pallet, gas money).

Classic broach marks and a very fair price...CTY means it was a TH400 car...our 70 L78/auto was made around the same time.
