dinnut · 10-19-2003, 08:05 PM

ok. i would like it to be local. it can be up to 500 people. but for 500 i better get a lot

teeitup · 10-19-2003, 08:10 PM

Considering mounts are $100, ps set ups are $200, alt and ac brackets are $200. A motor is probably going to run you $400 min. without anything else. The you got exhaust manifolds, carb etc. Good luck, Randy

dinnut · 10-19-2003, 08:11 PM

i dont need a carb or exhaust manifolds. i want to rebuild this engine.

My local Chevy dealership gets 500 for a 454 core. This is a core only, unknown condition. Bare longblock. No accesories or anything.

And there is a waiting list for them. I've been able to score 2 a year at the most.

dinnut · 10-19-2003, 08:21 PM

wow. that is a lot. a guy in tx i saw in the thrifty nickel had a 72 with title but no grill and no bed and a 402 for 300 bucks. i wanted to go get it. but i still havent looked into it.

Tx Firefighter · 10-19-2003, 08:25 PM

You said it, it's a 402

454s bring the big bucks. 396/402s are much cheaper to get into. But, you're not getting too big of an engine cubic inch wise, but you sure get it weight wise.

Truck Hippy · 10-19-2003, 09:21 PM

dinnut, You should go get the truck with the 402 for $300. The brackets and mounts are worth that.
