Try going to http://tinypic.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, uploading a picture there, and then copying the image code that it supplies once uploaded...it'll be text bracketed by "img". Paste this into your post and you should be golden

I have a clean block from an '84 with no grooves in the walls. I'm looking to get $250 for it. Email me at [email protected] or call me at (440) 666-0350.

Not bad.

 

 

If you do buy does that include pistons? If not make sure you match the tolerance groups 0, 1 or rarely 2. These numbers are stamped on the piston tops and on the top of the block.

Good deal! John (runs A part Above) is a new 944 Spec Midwest sponsor as well!

In this case the pistons are going with the block. I sold the whole short block of this engine. Other times it's just the block, girdle, balance shafts/covers with all the nuts/bolts for the girdle. All depends on how motivated I am on any given day. Thanks guys.

Fred,

Sounds like a good deal, but I'd first make sure you actually need a new block. I've seen some pretty good scoring that I thought would be the end of a block, but the machine shop told me it shouldn't be a problem!

pulled pistons found bent rod and scortched piston on #4 . block is going into hibernation right know . are all rod journals crossed drilled on these blocks? how about the mains? talking with john at apart above for a short block. thanks for the replies

Fred, it seems that some 83 and 84 engines got cross drilled rods. Most years did not. You are lucky with that crank. As for the bend rod. Yeah that will cause a cylinder wall to be damaged. It is rare, but does happen from time to time.
