Up for sale- a complete carb to pan 454 BBC. Marine motor, block casting #3999289. Shows as a '71 to '76, 2 or 4 bolt, but this motor has a large 3/4" pipe plug over the oil filter casting, so I assume it's a 4-bolt. 8 qt. marine pan. Includes Edelbrock carb and starter. Came from a running boat. Available this week and must be sold by Sunday. $850 obo. 951-675-9249

Hey Steve,  how's the project coming?  That block sell??

complete 454.  pan, starter, Edelbrock t-ram with single top, edelbrock 750 carb, Mallory unilite dist, moroso v-covers, polished perf log exaust with cooled solid flange.  4 bolt block, std bore.  steel crank.  casting #'s 3999289 and date code is 12/71.  Mortec shows 71-76 454.  Looks ugly but turns over smooth.    First $1400 takes all............

Ok, so after pulling the heads  and the pistons are stamped STD.  Bores look good.  So, 4 bolt 454 stock bore with a steel crank. The only issue I could see was that some of the head bolts were trashed and the threads need to be repaired.  Machine shop said its not a big deal and could be done with solid steel inserts that are about 4$ each.  I would have them all done to be consitent.  Now $600 with the heads.  Includes short block complete, with the heads and a stock pan.   Somebody come get this out of may garage before I get a wild hare and build it............   I've also got a set of forged .020 flat tops that appear to b in very good shape in another motor.  I'll throw them in as well.  Somebody has to need a new power plant, even to build as a spare......    Come get it.......   

SOLD !
