no, read what i typed before; it's a FWD block. thanks for the link though, i'll give it a try. this is not a block that's been in my camaro or anything so it not a rwd block. the guy i bought it from had intended to put it in a fierro, i bought it to get the cam and stuff out of it.

Sorry about that it was late.

Call your DMV and see what can be done. This might be a parts car. lol

I haven't either! Luckily all we have at my house is a ton of jackstands (okay, well, 5) and zero cinder blocks, so I was never tempted.

When people used to email me about "hey I just got a car, how do I do (whatever) to it?", I used to tell them to ask their parents or girlfriend for jackstand and wheel chocks if they couldn't afford it, b/c I'm sure their parents/girlfriend would rather see them alive.

Cinder blocks are load bearing structures if the holes point upward and a piece of wood is placed over it. The reason so many of them break is the fact that people use them incorreclty by placing them with the flat side up. I have had a jack stand fall, so really the only safe thing is to use a lift. BTW I have also had a jackstand sink into the asphalt and the car was slowly creeping down on me.

I keep thinking about the cinder block thing every time I drive down the street. Guy has a big axx van with the front left tire off the thing and its held up by a 1/4 piece of cinder block the wrong way. With just the rotor sitting on it. so all the weight is at one tint spot. Been that way for weeks. Whole things is leaning forward on it.

Gotta snap a pic. And maybe one of the camper trailer that the tongue is held up by a propane tank.
