NOS OEM 64 engine in original box
#42
Flywheel bolt patterns for 64-67 are different than 68 and newer.
On the plus side these replacement short blocks may have manual trans crankshafts in them so they could be drop in an automatic or manual trans car.

My 403 has one
You do need the proper matching flexplate or flywheel, and have the assembly balanced of course.

I guess I should add there has been a guy with two 330 one both running.
One oil pan to carb with brackets other long block with intake and two trans and he been trying to sell all for 400.00 for the past two years

I'm not sure how this old thread got off onto 330 forged cranks, but the OP says that the two engines for sale are Jetstar I motors, ie, 394s. I am surprised that they are still available six years later.

Dick has informed me that the two engines he has for sale are Olds
Jetstar 330 fitted Blocks. NOS Part # 393966, in original sealed box, complete w/rings, pistons, wrist pins & main bearrings. Of special importance are that these have yet to be stamped, so the owner can match VIN # to their vehicle.
Contact Dick at 978-452-8194

How can anyone be surprised they are still for sale? That's a ton of money for a short block that probably needs to be gone through again anyways. I would love to see what almost 45 years of sitting around has done to it inside the block.

So, just to recap:
In October of 2008 (6½ years ago) you posted two NOS '64-'65 330 low compression short blocks, GM P/N 393966 for sale for $1,800 each,
you have bumped the thread every year or so since then,
they are still for sale at the same price, and interested parties can call Dick at 978-452-8194 or 978-902-8415, at Shaw St. Automotive, Lowell, MA.
Also, as noted: "... these have yet to be stamped, so the owner can match VIN # to their vehicle."
Of course, since Olds did not begin stamping VINs onto engines until three years after this block would have been installed, and since the engine series numbers used when these engines were manufactured were stamped on the heads, which are not included, this piece of information has no relevance.

(2)64 Jetstar 330's OEM NOS engines
These engines are still available and sitting in his storage room. Since Dick is an old old school mechanic, he does not communicate via the Internet. Interested parties should call the garage at (978) 458-9427, (978) 452-8194 or on his cell (978) 902-8415 weekdays 7:30- 6:00 PM EST

It has been 9 years since the original post and this thread has been bumped and bumped again and again. Unless he has drastically reduced the price, which I see no indication he has, it doesn't appear the guy is too anxious to clear out his back room. Demand does not support his asking price. This thread has become comical.

64 NOS 330 Jetstar engines
What can I say. This is an old school mechanic, who does not even have an email address. Trying to do a friend a solid. Recently lost his son who was running the business. The engines are pristine. Tried unsuccessfully uploading pictures and original paperwork to this thread. I can send them to interested parties, email request to tennysonma@aol.com

Where are the crank and rods? So is that what a "fitted" block is - block and pistons, sans crank and rods? Wow, if folks sell these for the forged cranks only, imaging how desirable one with out a crank is?

I suggest al interested parties contact Dick concerning contents of the crate, assumptions or opinions, on what I was told to e a fitted block by him.

*****:
The problem is that at that price there are no interested parties. I admire you for trying to help a friend and that you are just the messenger. As mentioned, without cranks these block have very little value since there is hardly any demand.

While at his garage the other day Dick said he was wanting to sell off many of his items. When asked about the engines, he stated he would sell them for $500. Each. Which is a lot less than he previously wanted. I believe is is in the process of retiring.He can be reached at 978-902-8415
