I am searching for a standard 400 block 2 bolt, that hasent been bored or hasent had extensive machine work done to it. I have to build a motor in class for a grade so I need a block I can work with. Anyone got one I can purchase?

Here is what I have to do for class:

The machining operations will include engine block boring, sleeving, honing and milling. In addition, connecting rod resizing and crankshaft polishing will be covered. The students will perform these operations on their own engine components.

These processes include truing and sleeving lifter bores, fitting splade main caps and engine balancing. The students will use equipment from BHJ, Sunnen, Kansas Instruments, Winona VanNorman and others. Modifying the engine using proven after-market components as well as factory performance options will be taught along with the theory of modifications including all relevant formulas. Students will apply theory to practice with the hands-on experience of modifying their own engines

 

i had one but i think the guy that bought it off me molested it


maybe they can use my 350 as a test mule for those splade main caps

 

I could do it for extra credit. Youd just have to buy the caps. The only problem is I dont know exactly when I'll be scheduled for my engine class, scheduling is random. I'm just prepairing

I love going to school!!! Today I tear apart a T-5.

Some people donate their bodies to science, so donating a 400 to education is a much easier desicion right? j/k Im looking to buy the block. Dont make me build a 383!

 

Sounds like a cool class, I hope you find a block.

 

finding an unmolested 400 block isnt very easy anymore good luck with it, i will keep my eyes open for you....

 

Good news, I called my father back in MI, and he has a std bore 400 2 bolt sitting around. :hail: :hail: :hail: :lala:

 

I have one from a 1970 GTO that I need to sell ASAP, totally unmolested, needs to be cleaned!

 

pontiac 400 or chevy 400 aka SBC??

 

I was looking for a chevy.

 

Well...you suck, just kidding. It is a Pontiac 400. Wonder why nobody wants it. anyone someone who rebuilds old Pontiacs?

 

my buddy turns 400 pontiacs into 428s i believe using a 455 crank....how much you want for the motor and i'll pass it on to him.

 

i got one pontiac 400 at home and if you lived closer to KC i would buy yours off of you

LA

 

Well, it has everything minus the accessories and the intake and carb, so I'm looking for around $300. $400 shipped. If he wants to make an offer I will definitely negotiate! Thanks for looking out guys!
