CX block is an industrial block, the rods are likely small bolt, seems about 1000 dollars high or more

- Block with full machine work assuming done nicely - worst case 2000, but that would be with real good machining and nice sonic check
- Crank - 350 but with the industrial cranks you need to check the crank closely, often they run a big pulley off the front and crack
- Rods - 75
- Pistons - not much, those are likely old Badger, original would have been marked "super" for no reason other than to make you feel good :)

Most are sleeved as well, Ford seemed to sleeve a lot of them, did a good job, but you usually find one in a block like that

Yes, there is 2 dots on the date indicating a replacement type block.  Price is reflective of the prices posted on Facebook.  Joe-JDC
