Need a Engine Block in the Phoenix AZ Area

[e309452]

Just bought a 1985 Grand National that's been converted to 87 intercooled specs. Got it super cheap due to the included milkshake. Decided to pull the motor to do a quick refresh and found that the bores are scored pretty bad. The engine is already .030 over so figured I should see if I could source another block with a std bore that could be bored .030 over. The current block is a 140, but I'd be interesed in 109 blocks as well. Let me know what you have and what your asking.

Also anyone ever rebuilt a PTE-44? Or know anyone that can? There is quite a bit of play, but nothing is scraping yet.​

He won't sell me just a block, he will only build an engine for me or rebuild mine.

 

[Sydwyndr]

Hes one of the best out your way. If he built you and engine it would be done correctly. Do it once and don't do it again

I wonder if the blocks are hard to come by or something. I guess it did take me a while to find my engine.

 

[e309452]

I don't doubt he's one of the best, but I really enjoying doing things myself, almost to a fault haha (never have any free time). Sounds like I might have to hit up a few yards when it cools off a bit...

You anywhere by Sedona? I just looked, it looks like 2 hours. If you strike out let me know. I have a friend that travels to Sedona quit a bit, he may take it with him on a trip.

 

[e309452]

That would be cool, how often does he make the trip? Sedona's not far at all, nice day trip or even an overnighter with the girl...

I have a complete 86-87 engine w TA performance upper intake , red top injectors, adj fuel reg , etc. in Phoenix. $1500. Paul 480-221-9572

 

[e309452]

How many miles are on it? I already have a bunch of the goodies from the current setup, ported heads and intake, big injectors for e85, adjustable reg... But might still be interested if i can't turn up anything else...

 

[e309452]

Anyone on AZ? Found a couple decent ones but they are out of state and shipping is quite a bit.

Don't know the mileage on mine , But it's pretty clean & out of a wrecked car and has been garage kept. Paul 480-221-9572

Anybody?

Did you ever find your engine block? I will be in Chandler , Arizona on the 27th in the evening. I can bring a block and crank if you need it. The only problem is that I am flying out on the 28th very early. It is a business trip. So I will be in and out. If you can meet me on the evening of the 27th, I will throw it in the truck. The block is a .30 with crank and caps, and pistons . You will need a cam and heads, throttle body and exhaust. I will give you the block crank and pistons for 400. If interested let me know. Thanks, Bill 7087178700
