432 BBC short block

[77cruiser]

Nothing special, 366 forged crank stock rods with 3/8 bolts, TRW F/T pistons, Moroso 7Qt. pan.

 

[77cruiser]

Getting rid of this, what's it worth?? Not gonna be big bucks. It will all need freshening up, been sitting for 40 yrs.

The valve reliefs on the bores looks like a 396 block ? Or is it a 4.25" bore block ?

4.25 + .030

4.25 + .030

That block is worth $500 minimum around here

That didn't take long 20 minutes, a guy is coming to get it in a couple hrs.

I'd be interested in those Moroso covers if they didn't have the breather holes in the wrong side, towards the bottom vs the top.
Your short block is interesting, glad it's sold and not surprising.....I'd have been interested also if you were anywhere close.
My Venolia blower pistons have the same single valve relief, probably a very similar piston.
Curious what rods??

All the stuff is sold. Pistons are 5 pound TRW 12-1 solid dome, domes milled off, stock 3/8 bolt truck rods. I looked on Ebay those covers command decent $$$

 

[cheveslakr]

Yeah, the covers do command good money when in descent shape, which yours appear to be......and just looked, the holes are in their proper places, didn't remember that.
I sold a set that were mint for $200 a year back, and that was a good price. Mine had a darker gold than the typical moroso gold, and that's why I sold them.

I might had been interested in the blower but at 10.77/10.8:1 compression I might have been to high of comp to run a blower

Would work with E85.

Would work with E85.

We have that locally too, less $ but I think not as good mpg, who cares when it comes to weekend cars
