Anyone need or want a 71 Block

Have a nice 71 Block from my LK5 Manta... if anyone needs it speak up now

Yes its a low compression motor.. but it is the "71" block.. which is supposedly one of the best to rebuild.

$50 if you pick it up..

$150 (to cover packing it) + shipping charges If I have to ship.

BTW.. Its in central VA..

If its not gone or spoken for by Monday, it will be "recycled" for the iron..

Short- or long-block? . . . what all comes with it? . . . what about some pics?

Just the Block, Pistons, crank and rods.. a stripped block. Spins freely and isnt locked up. Its your basic oily old motor, that shows no major signs of damage.. The motor sat for years in this car (at least 18 from the looks of it), but the coolant came out green and the oil didnt have any metal in it, and the pan had the standard sludge int eh bottom, but again no metal or rust. A good block to use for a rebuild from the looks of it.

The head I wouldnt feel comfortable selling as its a 73 head, it looks fine.. but we all know how that can be deceving.. I want to get it magnafluxed to check if its useable, then I may sell it or keep it for a spare. Since I don't have a spare head for either the Kadett or my sons Manta should I need one.
