What is the difference between a big car block and an A body block?

 

There is no diffference! just different numbers to tell you its from a big car,and not from a cutlass/442.

 

OK thanks

 

Still for sale!

 

Would you take 300 shipped?

 

Is this a fresh bore job?

 

I will do $300 you pay your own shipping. Not a fresh bore job block was already bored .030 when we got it.

 

Still around?

 

what numbers are diff. and were are they located

 

Yeah, please elaborate.
I know the Toronado series started with a much higher VIN leading digit, sometimes, such as 500001 vs 100001 or 001001 for run of the mill A-B-C body Oldsmobiles. Actually, only your B and C bodies are called "oldsmobiles" by some of the factory literature- the A body line is "F85"... but we digress.

I figured you meant the big car diff was the BLOCK DRAINS
because the motor mounts used a different pair of holes for big car vs A-body, you may find your block drains are behind the motor mount if you mix-n-match. Easily remedied by drilling and tapping your block's other hole and using a recessed hex drive plug for the one behind the mount.

 

The block is still for sale.

 

The only difference would be the VIN derivative, and even then not always. Certain assembly plants only built full size or A-body cars, so other than one with Lansing VIN derivative, that would be the difference.

 

I'm interested in that block dude, still have it?

 

2 quick questions:

Please tell me all the caps are on the block and have not been mixed up

What is the casting number on the block? I saw the question above but not the reply

 

Yes the caps are all there, and in order. The casting # 396021F I will find out about shipping. Is there a fastenall, near you I hear they give good shipping rates on blocks, my zip code is 48198

 

Block is still for sale, will be at Olds homecoming in Lansing,MI JUNE 20,2015. Will also have a 1971 455 4spd short block complete there also.

 

InRetested in your 71 455 4 speed short block how much are you asking and how much to ship to Omaha ne 68116. Thanks for your time.

 

Asking $600 for 1971 455 shortblock, shipping thru Fastenal is $150.

 

I've never shipped anything through fastenal before. Do I just pick it up at one of there store locations here in town. Thanks.

 

Yes. The reason why they are so reasonably priced is that they are using the shipments to fill up trucks that are running store-to-store anyway. Your shipment will be on a space=available basis, so it could take several weeks. For most of the stuff we ship like this, cost is far more important than time or delivery convenience. I have nothing but good things to say about Fastenal.

 

Fastenal has worked great for me so far too!

 

Would you go for 650.00 shipped

 

No, I think its a reasonable price.
