Where to find an engine block

[sext7366]

Just curious where the best place to find an engine block was I am looking for a 383 or 440...R salvages my best bet?

Salvage yard is your best bet, most likely they will have 383's, 440's are harder to come by depending on where you live.

 Where do you live? I have a friend that has 200 440's and he is selling some of them off. Shipping on the other hand could be a shoot load. He is in St Louis MO.

By the way, have you found out what is wrong with the 383 block?

Not really just that a piston came apart, and being that its the original engine, and that having the engine sleeved is so expensive, I think it would be just as well to get another block to start at 30 over.  I am going to go ahead though and dissasemble the 383 and have it checked though.  Shipping might not be too bad on those 440's for me I live in Oklahoma city.

 Did you ever read the prices I sent you on fixing your block? $750 to $1000 is chump change of sort's. Before you buy a thing, find out what is wrong with your 383. Heck, you don't even know yet if the block is hurt.

I do know of a 51,000 mile 400 toward your neck of the woods. PM me and we will talk. It is in KS city KS.
