I know I just posted this just a while ago, but if anyone has any insight that would be greatly appreciated. Because I have to buy this today if I want it. thanks again.

 

price is 800.00

 

wow so many people looking at this but noone can give what they think, guessing noone has expertise in this field. thanks anyways

 

A lesson about forums sir.We all have lives outside of this and other forums.For me when I see what I think is a bad attitude,and this one being I didn't post the moment you wanted me to,then threw out a rude comment,no sir I am not going to help.

You might want to start over by saying your sorry.

You have to buy this today......................Really-really??.

 

good for a laugh, like sbc are scarce !!!

 

ok sorry, was really just in a hurry. yea a guy was holding this,and i wanted to give him a def answer. I understand we all have lives outside of here as for me afternoon shift this week, thats why all mine were in mid day.

 

SBC not at all scarce!! but I havent found one for this price in a while at least not here.

 

Well ok then.It's a stock standard build with what amounts to a RV cam.One that sounds like a flat tappet cam as well.Most shops the trend these days is to build a roller hyro unless the customer insists on a flat tappet.Are they giving any guarantee??.I think it wouldn't be that hard for you build one yourself at that price providing you found a block that didn't need to be bored.I would question why this one didn't.Most do.

 

As far as I know there was no guarantee. yea I kninda thought I could build that for that price, but every block I find ppl want like 300 bucks for. heck not long ago I could find them all day for 50-100. thanks again.

 

i would want to know more specifics on the pistons & heads. that cam is basically stock or near stock. im guessing its a low compression engine using lots of cheap parts with some chrome. no warranty? id be very leary of doing business this way. sounds like theyre giving you a sales pitch to hurry up and buy now before its too late, krap. if your looking for a high performance engine,...i doubt this is it. maybe for an old work truck? this is my honest thoughts. take your time, do some research, shop around. best of luck.

 

ok so I found some more information out and here it is.
Reconditioned gm crank and rods. Sealed power pistons. Sealed power bearings.

Block casting# is 3970014 which fits 68-77 passenger cars and 69-79 trucks. Block was cleaned, checked for cracks, cylinders were honed, no boring was necessary, new camshaft bearings, frost plugs and pipe plugs installed. Heads were pressure checked, cleaned, resurfaced, new valve stem seals, springs, rocker arms, pivots, pushrods installed. This engine originally come out of a 75 monte carlo

 

i have about 1,000 bucks to get a engine and shipping(if it needs shipped). I really dont want a used engine, so reman or new only. I know it might be hard to find one for 1,000. It dont need to be complete but like to have up to at least the heads(but I also have my heads from my tpi 305) that I could use. I can take my time and buy the rest i need. Figured I'd throw this out there as an option. If anyone has a suggestion I know your let me know. Thanks again.

 

if they couldnt even get "freeze plugs" right in the description, id be very leery.

 

Frost plug and core plug are also correct. Tomato Tohmato dude.

 

out of all the engine builders ive talked to, not a single one has called it anything but a freeze plug.
