1st casting out of the new mold for that day.

 

[moparraceman]

i have had alot of 340 blocks the best i have had is a #5 the engine builder told me on a scale of 1 to 10 10 being worst one to build and 1 to be the best. i dont know what all that intails the engine builder has one block -1 he said they bring $600 to $800 bare block ?

Which some say r the best and some say their the worst. If it’s a 340 it is still the best. This is a great deal. Kim

where is the stampings on the flat machined area on pass. side? where is this -1 value info-it is not the 1st casting out of a new mold-these are sand castings-not permanent mold. the dozens of blocks poured every day use the same wooden pattern to make a sand mold for every block.
