From seller:
o man I'm so sorry I truly didn't have any idea of that. I guess i should have looked at it closer. are you sure that's a crack and not a casting mark?

well if it is for sure then, i owe you a full refund. was that were the rusty water looking puddle was?
-----------------
I feel bad for the guy becasue he's out of work and needs the money.

It wasn't easy to spot, the light conditions and slight oil/dust film must have camouflaged it.

Short block is assembled.
Pm me the details?

It's one of the 3970010 castings, haven't check the date code, he thought it was '87.

That Bowtie is probably way out of my $ range, I don't need a killer block as the objective is a reliable 500ish hp 6,8-7K rpm peak.

Really will you feel better when you crack your own block? :rolleyes: Build a nice shortblock, if not when you want to up the ante you'll have to start all over.:D

Good to see that response from the seller. :thumbsup:

So what is your expected timeline for this 500hp motor you want to build? And like Rob in the REAL Socal (:lol:) says, will it satisfy you long enough? We know about your affinity for speed and adrenaline from the biking days. :unibrow:

One option I'm looking at is the Dart block they machine exclusively for EPW, slightly detuned version of the Little M.
I'm not getting a Chinese block like Dave. :rofl:

I got one of the later PBM's for the record... made in the USA! :woot:

Took the 70 mile trip again today and swapped the block for my cash. :thumbsup:

I'm convinced it was an honest mistake. I feel sorry for they guy he needs the money and didn't really want to sell the block. Now he has neither.

For a street and occational track / autocross car an honest 500 at the crank is adequate enough to get the car impounded and myself thrown in jail anyway. :yes:
