I have a 109 block with about 660 total miles on it that has gone through two rebuilds and the billet main bearings are always shot, my local machine shop just can't get it right. This would be a good short block for someone that knows how to build and machine a 109 block for buicks. Apart from the problem with the billet main bearings the motor pulled strong and never smoked. It has weisco pistons (20 over), stock rods and a n/a crank, arp studs for the mains and arp bolts for the connecting rods, 2 center billet main caps, a front cover with a melling high volume oil pump, and flywheel, front damper. The whole rotating assembly was balanced together. The crank doesn't need to be cut maybe just a polish, the pistons can be put back into the cylinders as is, no problems with the rings and pistons. Would like 1690$ for it plus shipping.

Thanks,
Marco

I will throw in a set of stock heads for who ever is going to buy the short block.

It looks like there is a lot of metal transfer on the block and caps, also known as micro-welding, from detonation or vibration. Out of curiosity, did this engine have any vibration when you accelerated?

The motor would run very smooth, even under acceleration. It would pull very hard, and not smoke at all. The only problem was like I said, the bearings on the billet caps would wear out and the oil psi would drop.
