'68 400 short block

I have a good running '68 400 shortblock for sale.
It was a good runner per the previous user but I decided to go a different route and do not need it.
$100 plus shipping. Or best offer.

How much and can you ship it?

 

Just for giggles let me see who I can find to ship east to North Carollina. Probably too much but let me see. What do you estimate the weight at?

 

I just shipped an engine from El Paso TX to Tacoma WA and it was over $600.
As for the weight of the short block? I have no idea. Hopfully someone will pipe in and tell us.

Thank you,

Hi Todd, I will PM you.

 

Engine shortblock still available

 

TJ
I am still interested but I need some idea about shipping. I could have it shipped to Akron, Ohio rather than N.C. Do you have any way to estimate weight to determine shipping cost? Perhaps I can find someone out there that has already shipped one.

 

sorry, I will pass.

 

To give you an idea of shipping, I recently had my engine shipped up here to Tacoma WA, from El Paso, Texas and it cost $550.00.

So even though its a short block, It will have to be put on pallet and will still cost at least $350 if not more.

Let me know if you still want it. It is a used short block that could still run if you had all the other parts. I had the cylinder walls checked at a local machine shop and the are still good, but have some normal wear on them.

Cheers,

 

How much to ship to Oroville, Washington 98844 ?
Any pictures available? Can it be heard running?

 

Hello,

Sorry I need to clarify,
This WAS a good running engine before I stripped off the intake, timing cover, exhaust manifolds, valve covers and heads. I bought it for these parts. It was a strong running engine before I bought it. I don't know how many miles are on it.
I have it all greased up to protect it from rust at the moment. I have no idea how to ship an engine. I do know shipping mine from Texas was about $600.

As for what heads will fit on it. I'm attaching some information I found at Buick Performance.

Thank you,

 

If someone can meet me in edmonds or shoreline wa with the motor I will bring it to chesaw wa over the fourth of july for free Glen 206 261 5269

 

Anybody?
I can meet someone in the kitsap/pierce/mason counties area.
otherwise I'm going to strip it, and recycle the block. But I'd rather someone use it.

Thank you,

 

Figures always half the country away......:ball: :ball:

 

I know it sucks,

I've seen many '67 400 and 430's way out of my reach.

Anyone coming from Washington to the East?

Thank you,

 

If we could get Washington to Wisconsin, I'd take it :bglasses:
