Factory 427 block. Was machined and run as a complete dyno tested engine for a period of time. Eventually developed a fairly small coolant leak into the crankcase, looks like a porosity hole that opened up between a couple cylinders. Should have been a straightforward drill & tap for a small pipe plug. Someone local to the owner tried to repair it and thought they would have better access by removing the screwing freeze plugs that had been in place for 50+ years. That did not work out well - used a torch to heat up the block/plug and cracked it pretty well. Owner had another block, so we just swapped the internals and fixed him up.
I have sent pictures to HotRodFEGuy, who welds iron very successfully. He estimated around $400ish for the repair. The round trip shipping kinda hurts, so before I go that route I thought I'd advertise it "as is" first. Bore is currently 4.265. Pistons are custom flat tops from Racetec, for the common 4.250 stroke/6.7 combination. Weld it/pin it/Hard Block it - your choice.
Price is obviously flexible, but we have to start somewhere.
Worst I can say is "no".
Won't fit in a mailbox - so shipping is "on you" - or pick it up.
