    I don't mean to be a Richard, but I honestly don't see the value here. OK, its got beefier main webs. Im still not sure why that would add $9,700 onto the price for a block that would otherwise cost $300 on the open market. Its a conversation piece for sure, I'll give you that.

    I never said it was. I was told by( john the one that had the first 4 bolt xblock bare block) that he got $5000. he said my complete. Engine. may bring more many year later and it has 1969 stage 1 heads with the r -d # stamped. On both of them as a set.could be the test they done as a stage 1 for 1970 on this xblock I dont know if I have ever seen one before has enyone else. Its got to be rare.

    Sometimes rare and desirable don't go hand in hand

    It would make for one strong block to build and have the oil to front and make a great gsx xblock 1970 stage 1 add on .would add some price increase. to a gsx.dont think there are many out with a block with the mains that thick or have a big old x on the block running out here.Denny said only a handful (6) had the x in 1970.this is one of the 6 blocks.

    He sat in the host hotel parking lot in Norwalk this year and hung out, chatting Buicks and sharing stories. He's a genuine and extremely neat guy to talk to. He went out to dinner with a big group of attendees on Saturday, but we drove the buick up to lake Erie for a little afternoon sightseeing and missed it, kinda a bummer. But still an honor to chat with him.

    This post is now 4 years old. I would assume you sold this block by now as much as you tried to get it out there. How much did you get out of it?
