30 over  454 block 4 sale. This is the block that I lost a rod and broke the cam. The rod hit the bottom of the cylinder hole.  Do you guys think the block is ok?

2nd and 3rd pic are the hole across from the one the rod hit. The 4th pic was looking down from the top of the piston and skirt from the hole that was hit by the rod.  I may take the other rod out today and take some more pics.

Last I checked, a sleeve was $72.00 a hole. That's not too bad to save a block. :smile29:

When talkin about sleeves-My engine builder says"why spend $6000 on parts and put them in a patched up block." He went on to say"If you want it sleeved-i can have that done for you-but i'm not gonna build it." Someone else can buy it-its very reasonably priced and worth saving...just not to me. :smile17: *It comes with 7 good rods and pistons that are worth more than the asking price. :smile30:

You make Patching things up sound bad! :huh:

Hey just trying to clean out the garage and I think the block is not hurt that bad. I will have to run it over to my motor guy and let him look at it. Gotta make room so that I can make my birdhouse assembly line. I must mass produce because spring will be here before you know it. The plus side is it's good therapy and is cheap to do. Besides I was trying to save another Chevy.

I totally understand Bill-thats why i was tryin to take it off your hands! But i'm the same way! I have plenty of parts layin around-(and even more after i see you!) I really was tryin to help TRICKPAINT overcome the 482 deal. Its plenty cheap even if someone wants to sleeve it. I'll call you tonight so we can get together Friday!  :smile17:
