I have ran out of LA 360 Blocks for my new build an I am looking at alternatives , The Block above seems to be Cheap and no longer in Production , with only a few online , Are They A Good Buy or Seconds rejects ???????
I have a w9 intake, valley plate, heads (machined with valves) and header flanges that would work great on this block.Yes, the info in the above post is exactly what I copied from Jegs. It is a short deck, dry oiling, 48* block, 50mm cam journal.
The only issue I see would be intake manifold. Where to find a short 9.0 deck intake?
There are some deals out there but you gotta be in the right spot at the right time and have money in your pocket. I let a deal go by and when it came back I couldn't pass on it again. I bought a 4.100 bore 48 degree short deck R block with Arrow Rods, cam, roller rocker, callias crank, 2 sets of pistons, Jessel rockers, and a W7 intake for 1200.00 last year. I meet a guy who told me he has some W7 Arrinton heads so this MAY be a winter project.
Watch the Arrington heads they leak water make sure to have them pressure tested the ones with the smaller spark plug heads are better
