You can get them anywhere. Try Scoggin Dickey. They were a good price. Hey what ever happened witht that Firehawk that was totaled? I am interested in some parts off of it if you can get them

thanks for the advice , just i dint see anyone advertising l98 blocks just 350 blocks for marine and 72 and eariler, and the normal zz4 blocks , the firehawk is still sitting in that junkyard the guy allready pulled the motor out of the car and put it in his truck, but i looked at the car and its totally smashed and looks like a preztel not much or anything still good on it , guy that owns it said he talked to the recker guy that towed it the night of the accident and somehow the guy that owned it flipped it and landed on the roof of the car in a creek , its a shame i know , anyway the junkyard does have the rims from sell for 800

jeremy7777 do you have an e-mail address that I could talk to you? I would like to as you some more about the firehawk. You could also try GM performance parts catalog.

Get a ZZ4 block. It is the same thing, except a 4 bolt. I have a ZZ4 shortblock in my car.
