    This is still available- I have gone to the dark side and bought a 86 Turbo T. I have many other GS/ engine parts and could bring to BPG. PM with needs.

    It is basically a .030 stock block, stock compression, so it depends on your heads, cam, carb, intake. I could deliver to BPG.:TU:

    The shop is Baier's Engine Service in Rochester. Jim (owner) and Cory have done all my marine engines and do super work. Cory's father-in-law has a 70 Stage 1 and did the motor for him. The pic of the repair order details it out.
    I also have the stock and Stage 1 heads, Poston chrome headers, Peformer intake, chrome Stage 1 valve covers. Decent offer will take it all.:dollar:

    Anyone want this? If I have a commited buyer, I will bring to BPG nats.
    From what I see, it is priced very fair-only need to cover rebuild cost-
    It's like getting the rebuildable core for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!:TU: I'll bring the rest of the motor parts also if you need them( complete motor less intake and exhaust manifolds)

    Here's a pic of the piston- It is .050 below the deck. I was going to have the heads milled to bump up compression.

    Thanks for feedback- I hope your friend's finger is OK. Made it down and back without any issues- even the 185k mile Suburban didn't use any oil!:TU:
