Private joke. Please see Barrett Jackson tread in Other Muscle section.

Since my White '70 BM Phase III came with alum heads on a LS-7 why not give it a Alum block to go along with it. Would that not make it steer easier??? Of course I would have to put a 454 crank in it to make it a larger cube like a '70 vette should have in it. Then again I could just build a very real looking clone out of that old '69 X-44 camaro I have setting out back.

Just heard back from the machine shop. No cracks or flaws in the block. So it should be for sale soon. It will need new sleeves to make it a 427 again. It now has sleeves that make is a 510. He's checking the heads now. I'd rather sell it to someone here than put it on Ebay, but still have no real idea of value.

Hi all; my post is a bit behind here but this is the same engine I spotted down in Pomona. No, no date codes were on this block and I specifically visually inspected it; Overall the exterior of this Block is fine including the snowflake. Good Luck!

Put it on ebay if you are afraid of selling it too cheap...I know ill be there come the end of auction time...

I have a question? Say you sell an engine like this on e-bay, how much commision do you have to pay to e-bay ( say you get 20K?)

[yountto]

The ebay fees pale in comparison to the taxes that need to be paid on the profit....

[SuperNovaSS]

I've decided the price will be $17,500 providing the heads come back with a OK. Included will be the block, heads, crank, intake(163), oil pan, timing cover, and push rods.

Larry.... are you just gonna sit and dream about this stuff like me? or you gonna get off your butt and do it?

Does the block have its studs, do the heads have the original rocker arms.
AND....did you find any markings in the block ?????

Is there any sign that the stamp pad was ever stamped ???
There are a variety of unique stampings on these engines and it might not be the familar style ???
