Whats a crate Hemi these days? This one new is from Bouchillon @ 14,500 or even a 472 for the same price..

It's worth it for someone doing a "correct" restoration. Not for someone just wanting a Hemi car.

How correct is a no number block? Oh well. Guess you could stamp it and tell everyone its original but the buyer..

 

[daredevil]

Wouldnt the block have a build date just not a vin?

 

[Bulldozer]

he says its a 70 casting but cant show a pic of any of it.

You can mill the pad on any motor and make it a warranty block. This guy is insane at that price. Its cheaper to buy a complete crate then buy this block.

Warranty blocks were sold to the dealers back in the day with a blank pad. The dealers were suppose to stamp the vin on it. They seldom did.

Very good point! I never thought about milling the pad. With that being said, any "warranty block" could be a fake.
