I’m kinda lucky that over the years people call me when they are buying or selling parts. I find some great deals and see things I didn’t even know were still out there floating around. I was offered this one earlier this week from a friend that knows a guy. It took a bad hit at the bottom of a couple of bores but was told it checked out ok. Still kinda neat to see. Supposed it still be a 318 bore size.
 
Morning, for us dummy’s , what makes it unusual?
 
I’m on my phone, small and blurry eyes looking. I can see it (barely) but the pan rails are filled. Yup! “X” block. That’s a keeper. Sonic check the thickness of the walls! Who knows how far you can go?!?!

Bushed lifter bores... BONUS!!!!
 
didn't they put a "X" on the front of the block? at least that's what I thought our old block had.'course, seeing as how the memory ain't what it used to be, I could be wrong.
 
WE HAVE A WINNER
those hits on the bottom of the bores will not hurt (unless a hugh stroke)
no x on the block?
wish the bushings were a little taller
 
Well he said 1200.00 so if I wait maybe it will drop a couple hundred. Anyone looking for some used parts.
 
It's hard to tell if the pan rails are filled or not. A photo of the front of the block would tell what It is.

If you look close, you can see the filled pan rail in the first picture.

Also, those are 1/2 bolts in the outer holes. If the pan rails weren't filled they would break right through.
 
Most folks dont want to know what it costs to bush lifter bores, let a lone add the extra bolts, then add the better block..

1,200 won't even get you in the door.

I'd buy it and be happy as a pig in ****.
