WTB 351c std block

[mikeyhunts]

Looking for a Standard block that can be bored.

Or a fresh .030 over one.

Would prefer 4bolt, but would consider 2bolt.

Located in Houston Texas.

Can text me at (832) 833-0893

You can buy new blocks in iron or aluminum. Meyer just came out with them a couple months back. I do not know price probably in this info. https://www.tmeyerinc.com/product/track-boss-cleveland-block/

The new blocks are much stronger and can go way over on the C.I..

I am running a .050" over block with flat top pistons and 2-V heads with no issues. I do run ethanol free.

I would recommend you not buy a block already bored. You need your pistons before you bore so you can hone for the correct clearances. If you use cast pistons and it is bored for Forged it will have way too much clearance.

I picked one up last year with crank and rods for $500 from one of the members.

There is also a facebook page for Clevelands and stuff for sell for them. Meyer has info there also.

2 bolt and 4 bolt blocks are exactly the same and can be machined for the 4 bolt caps. Unless you are going to punish it you will never know the difference.

Casting numbers are even the same on 2 bolt as 4 bolt you have to look inside to know for sure.

How soon do you need one

I have 5-6 candidates - need to be disassembled and checked

Well, I’m stuck in mud until I get a replacement.

Searching all options at this point.

Here is link to the Cleveland facebook page. Might be something there or post a WTB ad there.

Shouldn't be too hard to locate a 351C block in Texas.

Here's the 351C forum

http://351c.net/board/

This guy has a bunch of Cleveland parts in Arlington, TX. Might be worth an email.

Another thought might be to contact one of the builders like Tim Meyer who specializes in Clevelands, supply him with your parts and have him spec out and build the engine for you.

I’ve found a std bore 351c bolt block, but the guy is asking top top dollar at $900.

It’s making me crazy.

I’d like to have it, but I feel like I’m being violated and taken advantage of.

I get the supply demand thing.

Very nice of you.

I traded for a standard bore 4bolt block as a starting point for my new build.

Thank you for the offer.
