6 bolt mains? why so cheap? typo?
One thing I noticed when selling on Facebook is that I would get messages asking for lots of “additional pictures” of an item. They’re asking for those so they can run scam ads and have lots of pictures to make it seem legit. Unfortunately, I don’t think you can trust anyone you don’t know personally anymore.
 
The other thing they do on Craigslist is not send a phone number and make you reply with email address.
They then take your now "known good email address," and add you to lists they sell big and small companies.
The add also gives them your geographic region for the smaller marking groups.
1 month later you are getting bombarded with spam emails.
There are actually people who sit in front of a computer and collect email address all day and sell them to companies.
It is amazing how hard people work to make money at not working hard. LOL!
NEVER give out your phone number- ask for theirs first!
 
Might NOT be a typo? What good is it, totally unique peice, ZERO parts interchange with any other mopar engine, dry sump only, not used in any other race series anymore. I say its practically useless
 
I thought the P7 was the Pro Stock truck block? I'll have to go back and look.

That aluminum block was developed for the 410 sprint car deal.

Only had my hands on one and it was very very nice.
 
There’s a website that deals in R5/P7 stuff and I haven’t seriously looked into it, but they show a complete motor wet sump for $10.500. I paid just under $8,000 for my crate. I know there are fitment issues to overcome, headers being a big one, but $2500 for almost double the HP? I think the 4 speed dart from Sweden that ran dragweek was a R5/P7. Sorry that is cast iron block and dry sump.

Well, now I remember. You said R5/P7 and my brain woke up. The R5 was the PST block and the P7 was the PST head. That's how the nomenclature worked.

I just can't think of what they called that aluminum block but I don't think it was P7.
 
A lot of guys bought these at a great price only to find out the costs to finish it. Best bet was to grab the deal on the complete assembly then start piling the 100.00 bills in a stack to finish it. A guy at Norwalk races one and talking to him he was able to do a lot of the machine work himself. You can have your back turned and when he does a high reving burnout you know it’s him. Different sound all together. He just won 6th round at Bristol 5 minutes ago in today’s 30,000.00 race that is on YouTube right now. Tomorrow is the big money race that is a filled class with an 1850.00 entry fee
 
i didnt think much bout it yesterday when first one popped up in martinsville, figured it was one that sneaked outta joey arringtons form there nascar days.
 
in the one pic with the cast number its got surface rust..cast iron i think


I thought I saw that too. AFAIR, Chrysler never made a skirted CI block, except the the Pro Stock block that David Nickens got stuck with.

It's a pretty big power killer to skirt the block like that. That's why I can't imagine anyone in NASCAR would even want that. If it's aluminum, that's the block the made for the 410 sprint car stuff. Those guys care so much about weight the drivers take laxatives so they can crap before the main. True story.
 
I thought the Pro Stock Truck stuff was R4/P5? The block pictured is what furrystump is speaking of, early NASCAR was R5/P7.
