47799, Is this block a good deal? Posted by MCubed45, Mar-28-03 08:47 PM
sorry for double posting but i think i should put this here in the first place... anyways, do you guys think this is a good deal? one've the biggest selling points for me is that it's local and wouldn't need to be shipped. i don't even want to ask how much it'd cost to ship a block to hawaii from the mainland. my engine's not giving me any trouble right now (got about 110k) but i'm pretty sure i wanna turbo eventually and it'd be nice to put together a built motor to swap in... i know i'd still need a bunch more stuff but for what's been done to it, is this block a good deal? oh yea, i'm still learning stuff so can someone explain some've the stuff that's been done to this block? :P thanks!

This is a machined block. Its been rebored to stock, align honed, magniflux, brass freeze plugs installed and more. Throwing in a set of stock rods that have been checked for straightness and magnifluxed along with a new from dealer coolant pipe off of the water pump. Will throw in the lower section of intake manifold as well. This is great for any of you non-turbo owners that plan to get a turbo kit or if you plan to run large amounts of nitrous. Asking for 500 delivered to your door on oahu.

Most of it is in the shipping but no that's a ripoff! Let me put it this way, I got a block and crank for $120. Even the work that has been done on it isn't enought to justify that price tag!
