looking for 350 roller block, bare or short block, in the north georgia area or further away if shipping is cheap. non LT1 block prefered.

 

I have a used short block, mileage unknown (came in project car I bought). It was running great though... I bought it, drove it home 20 miles, and played with it some on that trip... I have a video of the engine running just before it got pulled if you'd like to see that...

By researching the casting numbers, I found that it was originally a GM Goodwrench Crate engine with 250hp/350ft-lbs built in the 90's as a replacement engine for mid-late 80's pickups... I have since tore down the engine but the short block remains intact, with cam, timing set, and damper still installed...

It is a 4-bolt main block, 350 cubic inches, part # 10066034, casting # 10066036, with 2 piece rear main seal.

It contains the following:

--Crankshaft part # 3932444; nodular Iron 1985 and older flywheel bolt pattern
--Powdered Metal Connecting rods Part # 10108688
--Cast Aluminum Pistons part # 12514101
--Hydralic Flat tappet Camshaft Part#3863151; Intake Lift-.383" Exhaust Lift-.401" (I believe this is with 1.5's); Intake Duration @ .050"- 194 Exhaust Duration @.050"- 202; Lobe Seperation-112 with mechanical fuel pump lobe
--Block is drilled for both L.H. and R.H. dipsticks. Plug is installed on passenger side, dipstick was on drivers

I prefer to have this picked up, but will work with you on shipping if so desired, but it will probably be pricy...

I'm located about 5 miles east of Nashville, TN, so not TOO far from you...

Let me know what you think... I was looking to get $350 for the assembled short block, or $200 for the bare block...

that is not the block i am looking for. i am looking for a factory roller cam block that is machined for roller cam and lifters and needs no modification or expensive retro fit kits to install roller valve train.
thanks anyway,
Dale

 

understood...

sorry, i'm not familiar with what the block differences are between a roller vs. non roller block...

I assumed you would just swap the cam out for a roller cam and use roller lifters instead of flat tappet lifters...

good luck with your search...

i have a roller block for sale. it only has about 800 to 1000 miles on it. have all the paper work to it. i was going to go with a tpi set up on it and ordered a set of afr heads in november and the heads hasnt come in yet so i decided to order a 383. if toyr intersted in it let me know. thanks.

 

how much $ are looking to get for it? what did it come out of?
what are the casting #'s? shipping could be a problem. got any pic's?

 

Hey there, I have a L98 short block for sale. I got it back when I had a L03, but since I got my 91 Z I really don't need it. It is a roller block with everything from oil pan, to lifters. I am in the Florida panhandle, so if you feel like making a road trip it wouldn't be too far. Let me know and I can email you more details.

 

i can not make that trip anytime soon. you are about seven hour drive from me.

 

Well depends on how quickly you would need it. I'm not selling it locally or anything and if I don't sell it, and by some miracle come across enough money to start building it up, I was gonna do a HSR 383. But for now I want a bike so my money is going towards that and not building up the engine and it's sitting. But if you become interested, just let me know.

 

ive got a '97 5.7 vortex short block. im in south carolina. email me if youre interrested. webersc8@aol.com thanks

 

i am looking for the old style block so i can put TPI setup on it.
thanks anyway,
Dale

 

I have a 1987 350. I am just south of Charlotte, NC. The car had 130K miles on it when I bought it and parted it. I don't know how it ran before other than the guy that sold it to me saying that it ran good. He had an electrical problem with the car and couldn't get it to run properly. I didn't care since I was going to part it anyway. It looks clean-- I pulled and sold the TPI setup. The lefter valley is real clean no sludge. I would like $300 for it. If interested email me. piedmontfbody@aol.com

thanks anyway
