WTB: BBC block or 520+ci short block
Looking for a low deck, Mark IV type(2-piece seal), 4.470+ bore block(OE 502 block). Marine block OK, will likely fill with hard block. Can be aftermarket, but looking to stay on the cheap.
OR
Looking for a 540ish CI short block with pistons for conventional heads. OK to need freshen up, needs to be quality pieces for multiple n2o systems. - Price pending parts; would preffer trade, whole or partial.
I have to trade(whole or partial from either side pending deal):
- GM "077" ZL1 aluminum heads(winters snowflake/d-port); cut for 1.625" springs, seats are pinned(fixes comon problem). One head is perfect, one is hurt but repairable; broke rod, piston tapped deck and cracked from chamber to outer bolt.
- 355ci street motor, full roller(approx 15k on entire engine, rings and bearings look like new(checked after sitting for a couple years in garage now); Pro Topline 200cc aluminum angle plug heads, 4340 bushed h-beam rods(less than 10k miles), hyper flat-top pistons zero deck(measured at 10.989:1 compression), GM roller block(2-bolt w/ main studs) w/ fully prepped cast crank, billet hyd roller cam(242/248@.050, .567/.585 lift, 110lsa), Crane hi-perf OE type hyd roller lifters, billet true dbl roller 9-keyway timing set, Comp Magnum 1.5 roller rockers, Manley guide plates/one piece moly pushrods, Comp dual springs(130ish seat), ARP head bolts, Weiand Team-G intake. Also available 750 holley & MSD billet dizzy - I turned this motor around 7200rpm on the 1-2 change, peak power is over 500hp @ 6800.
- 496 short block race assembly; Ohio 4340 4.250 crank, BME "396" 6.385 aluminum rods, SRP 13:1 pistons. GM 2-bolt block, fully prepped, mains have 1/2 tool steal straps. Has been run with plate nitrous system & older big brodie heads to push my 3000lb camaro to mid-low 5's in the 1/8. 15-20 runs since build.
- wilwood rear disc brake package; complete "heavy" race kit with vented rotors, 4-pot dynalite calipers, for large 9" housing ends.
- fresh 4-bolt main 350 vortec short block. Out of crashed escalade w/ 65k miles. Dense cast flat-tops, powder forged rods, cast crank, new rings & bearings, complete w/ timing cover, oil pump/pan, and windage tray. Stock roller cam and lifters available as well.
