You mean a 496/8.1?

Check Craigslist for a 496/8.1 truck block. The only thing different is the bellhousing bolts are a different thread - they are not metric. Otherwise, its the same.

Up to 4.5 bore too! Muhahahah!

I have one from a truck if you are interersted, but you would need to have it shipped from NH.

Matt i would be very interested as long as it is not rusty. I sold one to a customer and it was beyond rusty on the engine mount bosses. If you could send me a pic of the block i can arrange shipping and get you paid.
