Rare 371 Big Block

Guess they only made these for 3 years i read... I have 2 sitting in my garage now... Both are complete from oil pan to carb...

$400, dont really want to ship unless buyer arranges pickup.

Both are from a 1960 88, equiped with 2 barrel so i am guessing they are the 240hp, 375tq.

If 1960 these will be the later high deck 371 with 3" mains, 2.5" rod journals, 7" long rods. the earlier 371 had 2.75" mains, 2.25" rods, 6-5/8" long rod. Pistons are different too. Overall bore and stroke are the same.

Please educate me about these rare BIG BLOCK engines....here all along I thought that the Olds big block debuted in 1965 & displaced 400 and 425 cid.

I think d2_willys knows this. That's why he's asking if they're still available. After this much time, it's very much a shot in the dark, but you never know.

Yeah, and the OP never replied. Maybe he's dead and gone!!!

I've always called this vintage of Old's engines the first generation of Old's V8 motors, gets confusing trying to figure out if a 371 is a big block or small block or what makes a 394 a large block when if fact it's mostly a 371 in disguise with just a higher deck height.... Tedd
