As shown, $250 plus the ride.
I have a Fastenal store up the street...

There is virtually no ridge on the cylinders.
Believed to be a virgin motor. The E heads that
were on it had factory steel shim gaskets.
The oil in the cylinders was put there by me
to keep from flash rusting.

Pulled from a Supreme because of a knock.
At a minimal the crank will have to be turned.
Probably a N or nodular crank as well.

 

Can you post a pic of the area by the distributor hole, for casting date and (I believe) mold number?

Location?

 

Man that was nasty.
Check out the old dist. window
that was buried there, ha ha.

Here you are Steve, looks to be
3 353. Translation?

 

Marble Falls Texas.

 

Based on notes I jotted down from another thread on this site, the single digit indicates year the block was cast, and the number immediately below is the Julian date. Here's the breakdown:

1967 = 1
1968 = 2
1969 = 3
1970 = 4
etc

353 = Dec. 19

Therefore, your block appears to be cast on December 19, 1969

 

Thank you sir.
Just in time for Christmas.

 

Yep, good information. Apparently the mold number (single digit) is not infallible, but is a good guide. The other number is definitely Julian casting date (late December). I'm looking for an earlier block, car built November '69.

Good luck with the sale, it's a great price for a '70 455 long block.

Dang it tru-blu442 your killing me here!!! A local to me 455 complete at a good price and now way for me to store it.

 

We might be able to work something out Steve.

 

So where are the heads,intake if it is a long block? The pictures are of a short block.

 

Call it what you want.
What you see is what you get.

 

Okay do a search no doubt that is a short block!! I see you don't know the difference!! That is not a bad price for a short block. Good luck on your sale.

 

TTT for a good seller.

 

would 178 julian date be to early for your car Steve. Have one of those with the 3 mold number or maybe a 311

 

I need to check, I think car build julian date is 315. The 178 might be ideal.

 

How much would it cost to ship to Zip 60123? I have a Fastenal store up the street as well.
Thanks
Gary

City and State?

 

South Elgin, Illinois

 

I may have it sold to a fellow out of San Antonio.
I will know something after Labor Day Weekend.

 

If you can confirm it has the boss on the Lft side of the block for clutch Z bar.
I'll take it

 

Hi Az. Yes, it has the boss.
But I have a man driving up from
