...good luck

its taken me about 3 months to find one..at a decent price
ringing around wreckers and watching Fleabay and the Trading post
here in Melbourne

I refuse to pay $800 for a 308 std bore block...which is what some ppl want

cheers

With how hard they are to find these days, I don't think $800 is out of the question for a virgin 308 block.

How much is he willing to pay for one?

Ugly Ash · 06-06-2008, 07:40 AM

just sold 2 complete QT prefix tri block 308's (unknown bore size) one went on ebay for $770, the other I sold to Qboat for $450.
maybe I should have pulled a head off and checked the bore size eh?

I just paid $350 for a virgin 308 block from a local wrecker

$800 is a ripoff

vhg304 · 06-06-2008, 07:02 PM

I have one 30 thou over.

leprkorn · 06-06-2008, 07:16 PM

forgot to mention he's from newcastle. dunno if he's willing to travel or can organise a courier. i'll find those answers over the course of the weekend.

didn't realise i'd envoke such discussion, but its definitely good.

and yes 800 bucks would b a f**king joke if it wasn't so sad

thankyou,

Q boat · 15-06-2008, 02:21 PM

hi hash

it is a +.040 with flat tops, still serviceable

so i am also looking for a + .030 or less

Ugly Ash · 15-06-2008, 04:34 PM

what, your not going to use it?? 40 thou is fine if the bores are okay.
what are you going to do with it?

Q boat · 15-06-2008, 07:00 PM

prolly get some measurements of lip, taper and ovality

if it checks out, maybe the pavtek stroker with + .040 pistons

if not, rebore to +.060 and stroker kit

Ugly Ash · 15-06-2008, 08:04 PM

40 thou with flattops, I told you, if I had fixed the air leak he had and tuned it there would have been no need to put the new motor in for him... I think he was just sick of it not running properly.
I finished his car and after he gets a zorst done (tuesday I hear) it should run fine.
I got my monaro running again yesterday, got that dizzy in and it goes great!!
that motor should be fine I reckon.
Ash.
