Default Anyone need an engine block?

I'm getting rid of my 350. I posted this over in C3, but didn't get much of a response there.

Is $250 too much to ask for it?

As some of you may remember, I took a 350 out of my car and converted the car back to it's former big-block glory. Now I have a 350 sitting in my garage.

It needs a rebuild.

It's a 2-bolt main block, it's bored .040 over. I can still see the cross-hatch markes in the cylinder bores, so I'd be surprised if it needs to be bored again.

Here are some pictures.





Here's the Piston. You can see the 040 marking on it.

Here are the stampings off of the pad. Thanks to Bsiegpaint I know it was originally a 155hp 350 built on June 4, 1975.

Pad numbers

Here's the casting number off of the back of the block.

Here's the 882 head.

Anyone interested?

That seems like a pretty good deal. I sold my targetmaster 350 when I went back to the 327 from my car, same deal...a little leaky but good compression and cross hatch. I got $300.

Hmmm...I'll give you a four bolt 350 block freshly bored .030 and ready to build...

In fact, I'd trade it to anyone with a 350 I can bolt in and run, at least good enough to sale a car with. :D

( Of course, you'd have to bring it to me...since I have no truck to carry it in. :( )
