there is one sitting about 10 miles from my house, for $100.  I just need to go get it.   :icon_smile_big:  Its a bare block only that need .060 over.  :icon_smile_blackeye:

The only way to tell whether or not there's a problem with an .060 overbore is to sonic test the cylinder walls.  Everyone ASSUMES that .060 is the limit, when some blocks can take well in excess of that dimension.  It all depends on how the block was cast, and whether there was any shifting of the sand cores during the casting of the block.  Some blocks are iffy at standard bore for that reason alone, although that's pretty rare.

There is a 1975 Motorhome 440 for sale near me for $500. Longblock, advertised on a piece of plywood as "1975 440. Full Engine. $500." :cheers:

Too expensive for me. :icon_smile_big:

I have a forged crank '72 motor and 727 transmission I'd let go for less than that...  I need it out of the driveway, but you can't beat it for garage security--it's blocking the Petty car's door.

Well guys...  Something crazy...  I'm the one buying the XX 440.  I didn't think Rick was going to bid on it, so I bid (and he said he didn't)... 

I currently NEED a running 440 for a '70 Charger.  I WAS planning to purchase THIS:  http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/1015167783.html  initially.

I'm thinking about doing a Dayclona out of the '70, and thought it would be a novelty to do the XX VIN engine...  SO anyway...  I talked to Rick tonight and we have a tentative arrangement to trade the engine for the '70 engine he has in his C500 >>>IF IF IF one of you would be so kind as to help me re-build the '70 block.  With my gas from Dallas I will end up being into the XX engine as much as that rebuilt '69...  THEN I have to drive up to Ricks to get the '70 engine...  Is there anyone in N. Texas that can re-build the '70 for me (I buy parts)?  I'm not a machinist, nor do I have the tools to do it, AND I am on a budget. 

Above all I will remain "open-minded" on this, and really WANT the engine with it's rightful vehicle.

I have not sent the money yet.  I am very apprehensive on purchasing an engine that was replaced by Chrysler warranty.  I'd like to drive out and have an engine shop check it out?

I WANT him to have the Engine.  We just need to do some "HORSE TRADIN'"! 

Here's the thing...  I think it is a huge risk.  I offered him the engine unconditionally for the '70 engine, (no money just swap).  He was reluctant to offer to unconditionally trade (in case XX engine is damaged from the time it was warranty swaped).  I doubt it's ruined.  These engines are TOUGH. 

To make it work for ME:  I have to have someone down south (preferably in N.Tx) to be able to "rebuild" the '70 engine if they have the tools and "know how" to re-build.  Rick has to Unconditionally offer to swap for complete '70 engine (especially since I'm offering to drive all the way up to him).

I am in Dallas and don't have ANY engine rebuilding resources here.  I COULD/WOULD consider leaving it in another southern state if someone came forward. 

So far I'll be doing A LOT of driving.  Flying to Utah for a NICE '93 Ramcharger I'm buying.  Drive to Washington for the '70 Charger I'm picking up, back down to Merced, Ca to drop off Charger for paint, over all the way across to Ga to get engine, up to Ky to swap w/ Rick, and back to Dallas.  MAN, I'm gonna spend ALOT on gas!  Thank God it's a good time for a road trip $2 gas! 

If I don't have a plan on a way to rebuild '70 I'll just take the neg.  Just too much driving to make it all work.  The '70 came-up out of the blue, and I didn't plan on having to make that trip too... 

Here is the CRAZY trip I'm thinking about making:

Why not have someone here in Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana (where the engine is) rebuild it? Lots of members here and several good shops. Or is it because you need to get the XX engine here to see if the trade is worthwhile first?

I prefer to go by my muslim name...Seldum Ben Lade  :icon_smile_big:

My mother calls me " Seven of Nine". Doesn't make sense to me though since there's only four kids and I was the first born.
Shouldn't I be "One of Four".
