I have an extra 470" short block that is fresh with new main and rod bearings, recent hone and rings, Lunati BBC rods, TA pistons, internal balance, SFI flex plate and balancer, ARP main studs, drilled for extra head bolts, O-ringed, will include copper head gaskets, 8 cc in pistons and .012" deck, assembled. $3400. gary
Yes, if you cover the cost of building the crate, shipping, and arrange for pick up at my residence, I've done several motors this way. gary
Where is the crank cut to and where do you have the rods and mains set at (clearance)? Are the saddles grooved? What year is the block and where is the bore at? Are the cam bearings installed what type are they? Is it currently assembled? I have someone headed your way at the end of the week.
The crank is .010", the rod journals are standard CBB, I run my clearances probably tighter than some so I can run light weight oil, 10W30 synthetic, .002"/.002, its worked for me for a long time, so I stay with it. Maybe if I spun it to 6500-7000 I'd loosen them up but I keep rpm under 6500. Bore is ,030 over, TA dual grooved cam bearings. Its assembled as shown in the last 2 pics, I can disassemble if you want:laugh: gary
i checked the year. The # is 1241735, which translates to 72-75. The lifter bores are pretty thick and centered, mininum core shift. If you are concerned about lifter bore strength, the block was set up for a lifter bore girdle in case a solid or even hyd. roller was used. I also have a TA lifter girdle available if thats your desire. gary
Gary, sell that damn thing otherwise I have to call you again :grin: but then you could get some more training with your crate Building skills.
