Long shot, but I don't think it hurts to ask. Looking for a tested 340 or 360 production block with exceptional sonic check numbers and otherwise perfect condition. Any racers have a block sitting in the corner of the shop that has been tested and put away for a rainy day that you've come to realize you will never get to? Want to help a fellow Mopar racer out? Looking to get away from resto block and build a new motor.
[WANTED] 340 or 360 Thick walled block.

Curious..have you considered a late 89-91 360 magnum block with oiling holes ? I read differing opinions as the whether they are better castings.
I had an early 71 360 block stashed away at a friends place but he let another buddy use it .

I have a 91 block out of a b250 van but I am a long ways away.
I keep an eye out at the salvage yards for maxi vans because they usually used as shuttles and thus have long duty cycles which I believe leads to less core shift and they tend to be driven mildly. Seldom do they have a ring ridge in the bore.

Any chance you have had them checked for thickness? I have bought a few blocks this year that by casting numbers and dates should be good blocks, when tested, are not. I really just don't have room for maybes. Lol

I understand but the blocks I have are rotoblasted, mag'd and sonic tested and the price would reflect that. The other thing is just how thick you are looking for, I have one that is at or over .200 everywhere but does need a repair, most of mine fall in the 180-190ish average range when all points are checked.
