Chevy engine block; bring a chainsaw
This ad is too funny. I found it on Craigslist here and thought you guys might get a kick out of it.
The price seems a little high because you know it is going to need some machining prior to rebuilding.

That is crazy. If I remember correctly, those were referred to as DZ blocks. As Joe said, it is worth a lot. There are a lot of early Z28's out there with 350's in them after the 302's were blown.

actually it is not worth much as that casting number was used for the 302, 327 and 350 engines. the only way to know it for a 302 Z-28 is to look at the vin pad (which is not visible) and see if it is stamped with a DZ.

Wonder if the heat would ruin the temper in the steel if they burned the wood off the block. Not sure how hot it would burn, if it would be enough to anneal the steel.
But seriously, don't get the wrong impression of Delaware. We're not all raving hillbillies with engines stuck in trees and whatnot. I mean, I am, but most of my neighbors aren't.

I've heard of Iron Wood trees before, and I've seen trees that ate things over the years, but wow. That's impressive. Too bad they had to cut her down. That tree did everything in its power to survive. Good stock there. Should have grabbed some of the saplings that had started to take root nearby.

Well, first, it's not steel, it's cast iron (as in cast iron wood stove), and second, it's not heat treated so there's no temper to lose. Until the last decade or so, most cars used very little in the way of heat treated steel other than springs and bolts. Frames, suspension parts, body panels were all mild steel.
