Cracked block

-
I found a number in the SE and midwest for $400-$500; that seems to be the going rate in your neck of the woods and in widely varying condition. (I felt purty good to get a .005 over block for $300.)

There is a machine shop here in town that says they can fix crack in heads & blocks.
So I am going to see if they can fix it. An if they can fix it I will use it. Over the new block.
Yep I do have more pics of my block
If they can fix my block I may sale the new block

Exactly. Asking prices and buying prices are entirely different things. I've been trying to sell my 340 stuff for a while, every one acts like they just have to have it. Never any takers, and I'm not asking very much either.

Its only worth what someone is willing to pay.

might be fixed , but not good enough to beat on , if it is a trailer queen fine , but if you really drive it forget it . Keep the new block , you will need it
 
Get a 360 block and stroker crank for it,cheaper and easier to find now and put up a couple spares for cheap.

Best let 'em explore this....kinda reminds me of the old country comedian, Jerry Clower, talking about kids learning....."Go ahead and let him pull that 100 lb TV off the table onto his head....he won't do it again!"

So , With Respects SBDart,

Having worked in a few 'High End Automotive Machine Shops' (read ground bound Haley's comet tire frying sumbitichi builds ) over the years,
