Default Re: Date code on BB Chevy Block

[ QUOTE ]
Rick,
That is a `69 big block.
I've also seen big numbers being asked for these blocks, but it also depends on the casting date to determine the value, at least to some potential buyers.
I'd imagine your complete short block should be worth about $1500, possibly more, but that also depends if it's standard bore, what the crank looks like, etc.

Thanks Rick thats what I thought it was but just wanted to make sure. Where are the #'s on the crank, it looks like a steel GM crank. Also how do you tell what rods are in it??

Dave, as for the #'s on the pad the block has been decked at some point in it's life so the #'s are gone . This motor is 30 over as per the #'s on the pistons.
