Got a 400 block that needs a home, unbored , normal steam hole cracks.
Pair of AFR 190 heads 1500 miles since valve job & surface.
 
Same here. 20+ years ago I remember the Car Craft and HotRod builds of 400 engines and people saying “they’re still out there in the junk yards.” Narrator: “They weren’t out there.” And that was 25 years ago.

I've had this sitting for 30 years.

And a flat ass.... driving the NC wipes me out. Bet it'd cost a fortune to ship.

Probably 40 years ago you'd do it, maybe. I did it once about that far long ass day & longer night.
I don't know how much it would be now. Last time I shipped heads was 11 years ago.
 
Is it a 2 bolt or 4 bolt main block? Just curious, a friend has a 70 ambulance 4 bolt 400/406 in a 68 Malibu with a 5 speed Tremec
 
I slept on it and I'm considering the run, but I'd make it a couple of days. I'll be going to NC a few times this year and thinking I could drive to NC, take a day or 2 break, then continue on northbound. My son is moving to Illinois in September for work (gonna double his salary), so I know we'll be going up there too.

How much for the block Jim? I might consider the heads too.
 
I've got a pretty nice oem cast crank for the 400......free of course. Not sure how you'd get it there. I've got a crate sent with a bbc head that's still here and might fit, I'll check if you'd think that'd be in the cards. Also have a set of .030 pistons and factory rods I'd toss in the box.
 
Jim is going to try fakebook marketplace to see if he can get top dollar for it first. If not, Lisa already said she'd like to see minnesnowda as she's never been (I have many times for work), so we'd make the trip.

If'n Jim doesn't sell it locally, I'd take you up on your offer. Just let me know the price and cost for shipping.
