Value of a block

What would be the value of a 68 Nova MQ block. std bore. Ballpark figure would be great. Thanks, Darrell

A lot of dough to the right person....maybe you should post the vin or perhaps have folks PM you for it. There were very few L78 Novas produced in 1968 so this is a rare piece.

I am not with the block. I will be in a week or so and I will pm the vin if someone is interested.

And you're sure it's a Nova Vin and not a more common Camaro Vin which used the same suffix?.

I will be down there the weekend of the 25th and I will let you guys know. I also have a set of GM 69 convertible quarter panels that will be for sale also. PM me if you are interested.

The nova got the 440 block from what I have seen. The camaro block most the time is a 323. I think this because the late timing of the BB nova's The 323 block was used from 6-67 to 2-68 and I think all nova's were built after that date using the 440 . JMO

I got pictures of the pad but my camera would not focus in on the small stampings (figures). I did however get other pics of the block.

The Pad stamping is T0607MQ
The VIN stamping is 18W380749
The date on the block is D25 8
The casting of the block is "440" (of course hence the date code)

Now for pictures. If anyone is seriously interested you can pm me and we can discuss a price. Also yes the block is rusty but I can assure you the cylinders, cam & crank bearing areas are in great shape. Later, Darrell

Dang not my block! The vin number has me confused? My vin on my May 31, 1968 built car is 34683x. This car was most likely a mid June built car and the vin is 380479. Did they make this many car's in this short period of time?
