Found NOS 440 Block In The Factory Wood Crate
Still has the metal bands on it, part number and all tags still in shipping label
Only casting part number and casting date. Coated very heavy with cosmoline. I put a little more white grease on, just extra protection.
Perfect for 69 or even a 70 car.

I don't think I have the heart to build a 50 year old virgin block. What a score !!

Save that crate! Put a junk block back in it, a glass top on it, and you have an instant bar for the man cave! Maybe even backlight the block...

To me it is worth two arms, a leg and one ear.
I couldn't/ wouldn't sell it or build it.
I would just stare at it.lol

I would take a picture of it, and stare at the picture. In the meantime, I'd install it in my truck and go racing

To one of the 6 figure B or E body guys you might be able to sell it for enough to buy a nice A body.

How did you find it?

A friend had it, that I did not know he did. Met him a few years ago of coarse over mopar parts. The funny thing he only lives 20 minutes from he. We know all the same people over last 30 plus years and never met (maybe we did but do not remember). We were talking mopar of coarse then my m code Cuda came up, he said I have the perfect motor for that car. It was not cheap but could not turn it down. Plus it’s so cool,
I had to have it.
