Hi,
Interesting....
I assume it is a replacement block since no VIN. Do you know its history?
Was it a warranty replacement block or something ordered from DC over the parts counter?
What is the casting date and other numbers?
Is it an HP block and innards?
Did you rebuild it and do you have receipts for the rebuild?
Thanks!
Pete

The car is a 1971 with a build date of September 4th, 1970.

Finding this exact engine block, with those numbers stamped on it, and finding it for sale is the longest of long shots.

But I think you did the right thing, by posting on this message board. Consider posting on other related boards, too.

You may need to check back from time to time to see if anyone has responded. It may takes months or years for someone to google search the VIN and find your posting based on that engine block number.

FYI, I think Swap Meet / Classified posts can expire in 30 days. I believe THIS post wont allow someone to reply and notify you they have your block once it expires.

But if you post anew in the General Discussion forum, and provide any data you can on the car and engine, even months from now, someone can find the posting, read it, and reply.
