Question WTB: local 350 roller/1 piece block

Anyone? As simple as it is to find, nobody seems to have any luck. Just a stock block made for a roller cam car with a 1 piece rear main seal. They were used from 1986 to present and it seems nobody i know can find one Thanks fellas

I also need a carb style plate(holley) from NOS or NX. I wanna spray this carb intake setup sooner or later.

Denny,

I may have one out of a customers' 90 Vette in a few weeks. Has a rod knock. Sorry but its only gonna be a short block.

I'll let you know in case you don't find anything else.

Denny,
This is Andy (James' friend)
I have two four bolt one piece rear main blocks. One is from a 91 G-van set up for roller cam but was only flat tappet. Other one is 99 G-van with factory roller and guides. Both were police vans with just over 100,000 miles. Both drove into shop but got full restoration. Both should be overhauled. 99 is apart now for possible 396 stroker. 91 is together with only one head removed for inspection. Let me know!

I just went out and checked all my SBC equipped vehicles and found everyone to have a "1 piece block"!! I must really be lucky to have three of the ultra rare "1 piece block" 350's! And... two of them even have the 1 piece rear seal!!

Denny check with Bruce at Aggessive and see if he still has the 400 block. It was just a bare block.

Well Denny, sounds like the customer might want it back. He's still pondering...but if worse comes to worse I can ask him if he'd make you a good deal on it.

I'll KIT.

Can't use a 400 block...

An LT1 block?? umm...no

Mike, GET me a good deal if you possibly could. Remind the man that it's a very uselss piece of iron with tons of miles on it and you could possibly make him $25 by scrapping it.(Cough aka give it to me..) thanks man

Anyone else have info on a seemingly "rare" SBC block that i could purchase at a reletively low cost? hahaha
