Two weeks ago I bought a standard head at Epping, NH Antique auto flea market for $20. It looks good and sounds uncracked.
About two months ago I responded to an ad on Craigslist for "Model A Motor and late Model V8 block for sale $50."
On my arrival I found the blocks in a storage container, a friendly octogenarian woman, and willingness to dicker.
We settled on $40 for the block ONLY if I take the V8 too. Which I did.
The V8 was never inspected and got dropped off at the local scrapyard without my even stopping at home.
Meanwhile, after disassembly, the Model A block has issues with the rear main, looks good for refitting at .010 (ring ridges are VERY small) and was probably set aside because of the rear main leak - which it MUST have had.
