Re: block cores

Your block is worth the price of scrap unless you can find someone that wants to sleeve it and rebuild it. The heads and crank have some value if they are good. I have a mechanic friend that is down 3 blocks right now as blocks he has sent in for cores have been rejected. There is a shortage of good sound rebuildable blocks for cores. I'm not sure why, because if your going to rebuild a motor it needs to be sleeved anyway but the most of the rebuilders just bore them out and resell them.

Re: block cores

I love to have it, but will not make that drive for a bad engine. Let me know if you are ever in the KC/ Saint Louis area.
