I'm lookin for a 350 block, around the GV area to build for my 79. Not running or anything, just a block that isn't cracked or warped. Anyone have one or seen one around?

 

buysell.com ?

 

I have a 78? 350 (from my old truck, spun a rod bearing). I would have to measure the bore but I think its .030. I also have a one peice 350ci with heads (not vortecs) that I know nothing about the history. Its sitting on a shelf at work. Id assume a cracked head or toasted gasket but you would need to crack check it.

if he doesnt want it, how much you want for it?

 

Is there any apropriate way to check for cracks or do you just give it the once over?

 

What you need to do is have it hot tanked, then crack checked by a machine shop. But yes, you look it over yourself first for anything obvious and can even magnaflux it yourself if you like. I will drag the one from the shop home tommorow. If you take it, get it crack checked, and its good its $50. If not its free . Im assuming this thing is virgin but I could be wrong on that too. Will look tommorow. The other block is 0.30 over if I remember right, Id like to keep that one around for a bit, I think maybe I have plans for it. Let me know ASAP because otherwise I have to drag my cherry picker out of the shed tommorow. If I can deliver it fri or sat that would be good. Delivery costs a few beers though .
