1 Chev 265 cid engine block 3720991 from 1956 Corvette. Date code "D 56" (April 1956). No side mounts. Has oil filter provision. Hot tanked, acid dipped and de-scaled,  magniflux inspection is OK in mains and decks, then jet washed again to neutralize chemical actions. Square decked and compression height set at 9.010 +/- .001 anywhere to anywhere with BHJ Blok-Tru fixtures. Bored over size and block geometry corrected at +.030 from STD with BHJ torque plates and plateau honed for moly rings to final bore size of 3.780. A slight wear shadow remains in two cylinders of absolutely no consequence at the upper limit of the ring travel. It is less than a ring thickness wide, and not measurably deep. It could be honed out, if desired, for cosmetic improvement and still be within factory "new limits" for bore geometry and size. Both decks are hand lapped to remove broach marks and create OEM finish in preparation  for new ID stamping.. Old VIN code is totally gone. All threads have been checked and re-tapped and are OK. The lifter bores were clean up honed and are in great shape. The block was jet washed and hand cleaned for a third time before new STD cam bearing are installed and a "known straight" cam installed, then removed, to qualify the cam bore straightness and fit. Then the block was pressure washed a fourth time before crankshaft assembly and detailing. The correct forged crankshaft is fitted to new +.010 main bearings and an OEM style rope seal is installed. This crank had no prior damage or repairs and has been cleaned, magniflux inspected, then ground -.010 on rods and mains, stoke indexed to 3.000 (OEM for 265 cid) and micro polished. The oil passages have been radiused and de-burred.Galley and core plugs have been reinstalled. The oil filter bypass valve has been cleaned, tested, and reinstalled. The steel oil filter can has been cleaned, checked for proper function of the spring, painted black, and installed with a new filter. This canister has absolutely no rust damage inside or out. The block is painted OEM moly orange. Included with this block is the (I believe) correct square tab timing pointer style cover with a new GM front seal, and pan head screw set. The valley breather can has been cleaned and reinstalled. Also included is the OEM floating pickup oil pump as a core and conversation piece. It might be possible to rebuild this oil pump but it is dirty, worn, and offered "as is". Included are 2 generic small journal rod sets. One rod set is re-sized honed and  reconditioned with ARP wave lock bolts including re-machining the bolt head seat radius area, re-machining the parting surfaces, deburring generally, and the beams are lightened and polished, then match weight balanced (big and little ends +/- 1 gram) to form a matched set. The other set is "as removed" with stock bolts and has not been rebalanced. Neither set had any history of damage or spun bearing surfaces. This block will make a great traditional restoration foundation for a Chevrolet or Corvette project. It has no known defects or drawbacks, but is sold strictly "as is" without a warranty of any kind.  Call or email for additional information or photos. I will cooperate with truck shipping arranged by the buyer at the buyers expense. Or come and pick it up at my shop. Generally I mount blocks and engines on "one way" pallets for shipping then build a crate around the block and parts after wrapping them in plastic. The fee for this service is $75.00. added to the sale price. Or customers supply their own shipping containers. International shipping generally requires fumigation of wooden pallets and crates at an extra cost.done by the freight company. I don't mind delivering to LOCAL freight terminals, if that arrangement turns out to be best for the general arrangements, but I might need a day or two extra to work that into my usual delivery route/schedule. Local is within a few miles of the 94041 or 95054  USA zip code areas. The blocks history, as I understand it, was of being removed as a running engine to install a larger engine in the former shop owners Corvette. It was stored for many years then the heads and upper engine accessories were sold, and it was eventually taken completely apart in the late 70's. The remainder was stored in pieces until I bought the shop and inventory in the mid 80's. It has been offered for sale as a core a few times in various venues, but stayed in storage until I got it out last year and, over time, machined it so I could begin presenting it for sale as a "ready-to-use" piece. $3500. for everything. Email or call for photos.

Two tach drive Corvette distributors. One for a 1972 LS-5 454cid Corvette, calibration number 1112051 but without it's ID band. The second unit is for a 1969 350/350 Corvette, calibration number 1111493 with it's OEM band. Both were fully rebuilt to "as new" condition with GM NOS parts and functional within ±1 degree of book spec timing figures  at the advertised RPM ranges about 10 years ago. They were never used and went into storage in the GM boxes taken from new distributors I bought back then for the customers cars these were removed from. They appear to be in the same condition now as when packed and include new caps, rotors, points, and leads in addition to new main shafts, cross shafts and many other small parts. They are ready to install. I want $550.00 for the 454 un-branded distributor and $800.00 for the banded unit.
