Barry buy it for me at 1500.00 i give you a 10K finders fee...

[blueyenko]

now can it be repaired and who is can i have fix it its just the bare block

[blueyenko]

so what your saying is around 3 g's for the block would be fair even needing all those repairs

[blueyenko]

hey buddy i dont know much about the block and dont want to buy it if its going to cost a fortune any help or advice in this matter

Is it a 69 dated block? A competent machine shop should have no problen repairing the block. I think $3K would be a great price for you.

[blueyenko]

i guess i should get it than just not sure what it will cost to repair it , i guess i can also use it as a coffee table till than , just joking

Plan on thousands not hundreds to fix. There are many things that need to be looked at other than the physical repairs. Ive even had a block that physically looked good after repair but the cam geometry was off center and the bores not straight and it would eat cams and lifters one after the other. Couldnt get anyone that wanted to touch fixing it at any price,and those few guys were fixing blocks blown in half for other customers.

for $3000.00 make sure they throw in a couple of good bottles of wine !!!

Blue... If it is just a over the counter block needing lots of repairs I wouldn't pay 3K for it. If it had the vin stamped down by the oil filter for one of the 69 ZL1's it would be worth more. Also check to see if it still has a build stamp on the front pad. It it went to a actual car it has more value than it just being a over the counter poorly constructed block.
