70 (F) 383 HP block wanted - dated between 11-69 to 3-70
« on: December 26, 2006 - 05:17:00 PM »
Looking for a date coded block to go into my 70 Cuda with an April 30 build sheet date and hopefully close to Iowa / Illinois with no more than a 0.030 over bore.

Thanks for the link clown, something closer would be nice but he did have what I was looking for and I'll keep it in mind. 

I can't believe the guy didn't want his original motor back for his 383 dart GTS convertible http://www.themopardude.com/311100.html - price is high but not ridiculous for the right car...

Look up member v8440. He has a complete standard bore 70 he took out of a challenger for 500. It's still all together minus the oil pan I took off, and it spins free

I'd like to thank everyone for their help on this.  I have a motor now from member v8440 and he was great to deal with and kept every end of the deal up on his side and somehow managed to get a ridiculous shipping discount that made the deal.

Neil (v8440) is a good guy. He's turning into quite the pack rat for extra parts. I got the manifolds off the 383 you just got. I needed 1970's and all I have is 1969's :2thumbs:

Geeze, I can't even get the member right, it was grossum!

Yeah, I wish I got the exhaust manifolds (I would at least like to know the dates on them as a reference) and some 70 valve covers but I got what I got.

Not your fault-I switched my username.  I'll switch it back pretty soon.  Look at my username, then look at the avatar and you'll understand.

Neil, you got what we talked about this morning....good luck on your interview. I fly out sat or sunday, so I may get to drive over to your place sudden, but not sure. I just bought a pile of stuff for my purple car and will be doing 12 hr days to get this stuff on as it comes in :2thumbs:
