two bolts hold the main caps on the crank instead of 4. imo its not realy needed to run 4 bolts in a daily driven grocery getter. also you can get two bolt splayed to 4 if you needed but as i said ...if needed.

and that one would be fine for you if you take it to the machine shop have them freshen it up maybee bore it and do cam bearings then softplugs. buy a rebuild kit put it together and your good. its gonna take some cash to do a block up built . be prepped to spend some $.


why is it that when someone sells a motor it always has low miles? why cant people now days just tell others the truth. i bet 99% of people lie about it. anyone who knows about engine can tell its a lie.(not saying this one doesnt have 40k just in general) sorry about the rant i just hate looking at somthing that people say its one thing but its plain as day its not....

well the important stuff isn't gonna just "bolt up". Things like the whole rotating assembly, and flywheel. I'm not really sure what you were looking to do, but it's a bigger project then it sounds like you're looking to do.

No....

It doesn't have the starter bolt hole that you HAVE to have.

Keep looking.

Visit your local junkyard. They're everywhere. No need to go to eaby for that. You'll pay more in shipping than the block is worth.
