426 Hemi Block, crank and rods for sale.
Original 1970, 1971 Hemi Block, Crank and Rods for sale.
Hello everybody. I have an original 7/28/69 Hemi block, stock crank and rods for sale. This engine was assembled new by Dick Landy using all new parts but was never started. It sat for years and water got in the cylinders causing some minor rust pits. I disassembled everything and cleaned. This is an “Over the counter” block. There are no VIN, assembly stampings or warranty tag. This block is perfect for that 1970 or 1971 car missing an engine…none better.
A common practice back then was to take a new block and go .060 over to gain a few extra cubic inches……this block is 4.310. You have two options, bore it out and get custom pistons. It might clean up going an additional .010 but there is no way of knowing until you hone it. Option two is have sleeves installed. A good machinist can install quality sleeves and the block will be better than new. Why I say “better than new”? Because the material sleeves are made out of is much better than the factory iron. Every aluminum block made has sleeves…..it no big deal. If you think it’s a dig deal then just stop reading and move on.
