I have a 400 block, crank, rods & pistons for sale. I will install new cam bearings and freeze plugs for the buyer. This is a very nice block with no cracks in the webbing $550.00 or possible trade.

 

trades for..?

 

Aftermarket heads or nitrous.

 

I need this out of the garage so I have reduced the price to $400 obobor trade. I will trade fo just about anything of value just let me know what you have.

 

Are you only looking for pickup locally or are you lookin @ shipping this block?

 

I would crate and ship at the buyers expense.

 

would you take $300 if I come pick it up?

 

Yes.

 

ok cool. Is everything assembled, or apart? Do you have a hoist to lift it into the back of my blazer? Would I be able to get it on a saturday? Better yet, whats your email address so we can take this to email?

 

email me at theopsmanager@bellsouth.net

 

everything is apart. I will have it all cleaned up and ready. Email me when you get a chance and we can go over everything.

 

emailed

 

Here is the casting number for the block. #3951509 2 freeze plugs per side (cheater block) used from 1973-1980 in passenger cars and trucks. I have tried to get picks but my camera sucks and doesn't want to cooperate.

 

bump

 

once I get some pictures I plan on leaving a deposit!

 

I fixed the camera tonight by purchasing a new one. I will have pics up in the morning.

 

alright man. Email them to me also, as I dont know if I'll have time to hop on tgo....I'll be on the road. Can you email your phone number? Thanks.

 

is it standard bore? 2 bolt mains?

 

standard bore,2bolt block

 

any pictures yet?

 

I cannot get these d--n pictures to post. I have them on the camera but cannot get them on the computer. AAAGGHHH. I am gonna keep trying all I can say at this moment is if you wanna come and look at it you are more than welcome to. I am gonna get it honed new cam bearings and freeze plugs installed this week.

 

if its a pc, and you have the cable hooked to the camera and computer, open "my computer" and there will prob be an option for "removable disk". Open that and the pics should be in there. If you want to email them to me at notyuravgsc@yahoo.com Even if I dont get the block for some reason, I will resize them and post them!

I'd come take a look but 4 hours away is a long way to go for a look

 

Tell you what, go pick it up for the $300 and if you don't want the stuff, I'll drive down to Lynchburg and buy it from you for $300. How's that for a deal.

 

How about you give me the $300. If I dont like it, you can have it. If I like it, I pay you back

 

any updates?

 

Nice deal

 

Damn, if this wasn't so far away I would do it. I've done Knoxville and back in a day, but I was a little younger then.

Don't suppose you'd meet me in Bristol? (I know, but I had to ask)

 

me too, ready to make a purchase and already have the time set aside to drive down. Just want to see some pics before I leave a deposit!!

 

Pics should be up late tonight. I had to order a cable fot the kodak camera that I bought to transfer them from the camera to the cpu.

 

sooooo, got those pics?

 

I guess you dont want to sell it You were going to post pics, then give me the phone number of the machine shop once you dropped it off last week. Im still planning on being down that way this weekend, so let me know whats goin on!

 

Pics are finally available!!! I still have not figured how to post them here but will email them ton any interested party. I have decided to sell that block as it is for $300.00 this includes the crank and pistons. I just do not have the time to get it to a machine shop and I would have to charge more if I did. Anyway those interested shoot me your email address.

 

Justin@oxygenplusmedical.com please!

 

Here are some pics. I couldn't get the cylinders up close but this should give you an idea. As I stated it will clean up with a good honing the crank can be polished using emory cloth and it is a standard bore 2 bolt block.

 

And a few more.

 

no rust pitting in the cylinders, or scores/gouges?

 

also, the main caps are included, right? Do you have a pic of the bottom of the engine?

 

Yes the caps are included. I will try to get some more detailed pics tomorrow.

 

I can deliver to Bristol and some parts of SW Va.

 

ok, want to meet me in Bristol?

 

When do you want to meet?

 

I told you a few times that I will be down that way this saturday and that I was more than willing to go buy it! I would like to see some better pictures of the bores though before I make a decision. Ive been 100% serious all along, just waiting for my pics lol

 

you have got to be the most unmotivated seller I have EVER seen! Over 3 weeks to get some pictures...this is like pulling teeth from a chicken! I planned on coming to your place and picking it up. Im going to retract my offer. I no longer want the engine.

 

Look I posted the block, got pics as quick as I could and I work two jobs. So time isn't something that I have alot of. If someone wants a good 400 block that has never been bored then fine if not I will build it myself. It isn't costing anything sitting in my garage.

 

you said you were going to post better pictures of the bores 3 days ago. :shrug: Ive seen you online a lot, so the no time excuse doesnt make sense to me.

 

I am online alot. However most of the time it is from my work computer. In case you have forgotten you can be at different computers and access this site. Bottom line is if you don't want it fine stop posting on this thread. I posted picks as quickly as I could and tried to get good shots for you. I also gave someone the opportunity one heck of a buy for $300.00. If you don't think so check the price on 400 blocks especially when the crank,rods and pistons are included.

 

I am well aware of the good deal. That is why I have been following this thread and waiting for pictures for over 3 weeks!

 

Hello from corvetteforum.com.

What is the current status of the block? Are there other people in line? I am interested in this deal for $300.

Shipping would have to be either to 13669 (NY) or across the border to Canada. I have friends who drive transport and make long trip, so that may be an option for pickup as well.

Please email me at jerrymilne@canada.com if this block/deal is still available.

Thanks in advance.

Block is still available. I can ship anywhere as long as shipping is paid in advance. Shipping will be expensive but I will put it on a pallet and secure it if someone wants it shipped.

 

To bad you dont need a good carb. I have a good 750 vs Speed Demon carb with less than 20 miles on it.

I am in London Ky. I could be in Knoxville or meet in the middle. Interested in swapping? I have pics of the carb. I also have a 700r4 trans. It runs through all gears. Its been sitting since I went to a th350 for racing.
