Olds Aluminum Block CL find, very cool!
I stumbled upon this on CL, If I lived close to Michigan, and I had 5k, I would be there in a heartbeat, I hope someone on here has been looking for one of these and buys it, so very cool just to see it!

I bought my car from him 2 years ago. He had the block then and was offering it to me for $4500.
He explained how he came to own it, and some of it's history. Everything seemed legit, but aside from not having the extra money for it, I didn't know what to look for if it was a good block, or junk block, but it seemed to be in good shape.

Inline Tube built a running version of one for a W31.

Neat that they had custom pistons made to match the block rather than cutting the block.

Depends on the thickness of the liners in that block. Also, if they are press-in (as opposed to cast-in) liners, they can simply be replaced. Interesting that 4.155 bore and 3.385 stroke give you 368 cu in, or just about exactly 6.0 liters.

its really nice to see one of these floating around, it would be really nice if someone would take the time to re pop these in aluminum, since you can buy any cubic inch chevy in aluminum, it would solve the problem with these engines getting hard to find, or so they say, i have a 350 im trying to sell as we speak haha!
