$0-100 bucks max. unless you know if it's good and the seller can prove it or will give you a money back guarantee.

Is it a tin sided block or cast?

If you purchase it and need parts to complete it I probably have them.

The later Iron blocks are in demand. The tin sides, not so much

I just scored on a complete 1939 Iron block 60HP with transmission and other accoutrements attached, just missing the generator and fan. Anybody got a correct fan with 2" hub? This engine set up will go to the V8 museum when the Good Lord calls me home.

Lawson, I wanted you to know I just copied your quote about us 'sleeping safe in our beds'. It's a great one, and we all need to be reminded of this. Thanks for sharing it with us.

About 3000 miles, but what does that have to do with the quote in question?? Inquiring minds want to know. Your sarcasm eludes me.
