Re: Aluminium Bowtie V6

That is what I had though was 800 hp. I just wondered what kinda money this thing should bring I dont want to over pay for it (I wouldnt mind if I knew 100% I was gunna keep it) but if something comes up where money gets tight I need to know I can sell it.

Re: Aluminium Bowtie V6

with shipping it will probably be over half of that so I still think at that price I probably should jsut be prepared to keep it at that price

The guy really isnt that great of a guy he doesnt want to do anyhting as far as any leg work to get the best deal the block only weighs 75 pound but I am guessing in the crate it will be close to 100.

I priced it through a couple of frieght company but with residental pickup and he said he wont help load so it would have to be a truck with a liftgate it was pritty high priced.

I may check ups I didnt think thaey would ship somehting that heavy with out a big over charge fee

Re: Aluminium Bowtie V6

Have him put it in a heavy duty plastic storage box like you buy at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. I shipped iron blocks that way through UPS ground.

Drill a couple of holes around the edges for some 1/4 bolts. to lock the lid.

Re: Aluminium Bowtie V6

He did finally get a desent quote around 150ish with paypal fees I still should come out under 2500 and he will get it out in the next couple of days. It will still be in the GM crate so I really didnt want him to unbox it and end up dropping it or somthing

I am just hoping 2500 is still worth the money. I hope so since new is around 4k

Re: Aluminium Bowtie V6

I was reading in the GM book they show a picture of the block with 400 mains and it is dry sump but I didnt know if the one with 350 main would be the same way or is it would be a wet sump either way I am pritty stoked about it
