#71807, "Block"


          

Ok i am in real need right now....

im building my bottom end for my turbo
but right now im stuck becuase

The last person who rebuilt my motor fucked it up, did 50 over!!! anyways, i looked into most options

1. Re selve the block -- Maybe, but it might cost to much
2. get custom pistions for 50 over - I dont want to do this becuase thats just way to big and they would have to be custom
3. This is what i want to do..Get a new block, just the bottom end, just the plain bottom end, i dont need the pistions i dont need anything just that hunk of metal...Or if i could by someones junked bottom end

how could i go about getting a Junker Bottom end or the block so i ccan use that and transfer over all my stuff to that so i can get some normal forged pistions in there !?!?

anyone have any for sale, or where can i buy one!?

look around for a junkyard block that'll take yours as a core...300 dollar block - 150 dollar core = fresh block to work with (no worries)

imo, it'll be more worth it. .050 is gettin those cylinder walls thinner, not really to bad but still

Yeah but make sure there isn't a hole in the side of the block or anything.

i have a block sitting in my room, it still has pistons and such, but once i get the tool to remove the harmonic pulley it will be fresh and clean. Make an offer. Block has 90xxx miles and looks to have a spun bearing. With your rebuild im sure your looking to bore just a bit anyways so this would be perfect. Im in Radford Va, 24141 and the block is HEAVY, so figure in a good 50 bucks or more to ship.

yo , yea i need a block quick, as long as u can sell it for a good price, cuz shipping is going to be a bitch....As long as u take everything out(all the rods pistions etc), and pack it up your self , i think its around 70 bux

so i need a good price since i have to pay for shipping
