it's a start

well i picked up the first of 2 free 258 blocks. reason i'm getting 2 is i didn't expect either of them to be usable much to my suprise the first is in cherry condition.

block casting number 3235077

after inspection the cylinders are clean and smooth, the crank is in perfect condition, and the rods are the same

mmm beefy 12 weight

i love freebies especially when they're usable.......anybody wanna buy a block and head?

stroker build huh

My block and head are blue like that. I bought it used and was told that it had a rebuilt engine in it. Do you know anything about that motor, is it a reman?

it came out of an 80 cj7 and from the looks of it it's the original build. it was pulled from the cj because it was smoking bad but other then that it was running good

ya i've been making deals on stroker parts for a couple months now and this is the first to actually go through. next weekend i'm picking up 258 block number 2. also for free. i may try and talk the guy out of the d300 he has laying around since this crank and rods are usable and i won't need the other motor but we'll see what happens

well now i have a 2nd crank and rods in the 4 weight flavor that is also in excellent shape. couple of the mains show a little wear but nothing a little machining can't cure. the rod journals look almost new. so now should i build on the 12 weight crank and sell the 4 weight or build on the 4 and sell the 12. right now i'm leaning towards keeping the 12.

so what's the going price on a crank and a set of rods these days?

if you sell the 12 i want it
