Can you give any more details on these blocks? What kind of builds were they used for, and what are they going to be used for? Just curious as we don't get many posts on these.
Looks like the X block on the right may have a four bolt main cap peaking out on the number two main.
The X block on the left has an extra bolt hole down toward the main journals. Is that for a gear drive?
Also looks like a Speedmaster box sitting on the floor toward the top of the picture. I assume that is not related to the desirable blocks you have there.
opps looks like I should of looked at the op pictures. ok my question is can you get a x block with out motor mounts?did the X block come with out motor mounts? a guy local to me is selling one. the add says its a 340 X block. the pictures he posted of it, it looks like it doesn't have any motor mounts. it does have 4 bolt mains. sorry for the high jack.

There is not much going on lately to read. Can you provide a brief description of how and when this block was used in its previous configuration?Yes, the extra hole is for a gear drive.
A McMillion lol, atleast double a 340 which aren't cheapHoly smokes... to the uninitiated, what is one of those worth?

Thats True, McMillion covers a wide range of numbers in my mind.Well, there's a huge range between say a 72 340 block, a 69, and something like a T/A block.... sooo..
No problem, I'm I the middle of a couple things but I would be happy to give the details soon.Can you give any more details on these blocks? What kind of builds were they used for, and what are they going to be used for? Just curious as we don't get many posts on these.

Really ? Found it in Boise for cheap ! Urgh ....
I didn’t find it. My buddy did. I don’t have that kind of luck. I called the guy and his biggest fear was I would buy it that cheap and then flip it for a profit. I told him I’m bringing 8 crisp, clean 100 dollar bills. There would be zero tire kicking or last minute haggling. And I promised I was going to use it myself. I actually sent him pictures of it going together, on the run in stand and then in then in the car so he could know I didn’t burn him.
I forgot to mention that when the 3.79 crank goes in it’s getting 5 Ritter billet main caps. I’ve had my hands on them and they are far, far better than other caps I’ve seen. And he moves the register out to the end of the cap so it’s not just outside of the center bolt holes.
And he centers the caps. Very nice stuff and the price is very good for the quality and finish of them.
