$1,666.66 per block. That’s the math you were just wondering about after reading this headline. It is pretty impressive to amass a collection of 300 stamps, let alone 300 engine block of the Chevy Rat motor variety. Tracy Performance in Michigan is the outfit that has collected all of these engine blocks and they are the guys who have the whole lot of them up for sale. There are no W-motors in the group, no rare aluminum blocks in the group, no heads, cranks, intake manifolds, or any of that stuff. This is 300 iron blocks that range from early 396s all the way through 454s made into the 1970s. There are a few tall deck blocks in there as well if you are wanting to build stroker engines. If you can believe it, there is 70,000lbs of iron here. At today’s smelting prices that’s about $7,000 so you can sleep easy to know that this is not an attractive buy for someone in the scrapping business.

Obviously this group has some valuable casting numbers in it but there has to be a bunch of blocks that fall on the other end of the spectrum as well. Is it possible that the average of everything in this lot is nearly $1,700? It seems high to us but we’re not in the restoration business nor are we out scouting engine block prices daily. What do you think? The seller did a great job explaining what’s here so you should read the description below to get the full idea of what this is all about.

Thanks to Pizza and Doughnuts for the tip!

It took us over 40 years of hard work and lots of big bucks to accumulate this collection of hard to find big blocks and you can acquire it with the click of a button on your computer if you have the proper financial qualifications!  See our “NOTE” below.  We have been “The Place” to buy the dated big block for the last 30 plus years for the restoration of your Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle, Impala, Biscayne, El Camino, Monte Carlo, Caprice, Nova, etc.  These blocks also belong in Chevy Pickups, Suburbans, Yukons and GM Semi Tractors as well as Dump, Straight and Stake Trucks.  These blocks are also used in many marine applications like Ski Boats, Off Shore Race Boats, Cabin Cruisers, etc. including Sea Ray, Fountain, Baja, Apache, Cigarette, Ocean Express, Cruisers Inc. and many others.  Some of them are also used for stationary engines like generators, pump motors and many other industrial applications.  These are also used in hot rods, retro rods, rat rods, street rods, muscle cars, show cars, drag racing cars, road racing cars, tractor pull tractors, truck pull trucks, monster trucks, dirt track race cars, asphalt oval race cars, sand racers, sand rails, dragsters, Super Stock Cars, and many other performance applications.

These blocks are all racked up in our warehouse, (see the attached pictures), on a 30″ deep pallet rack system, 85′ long by 20′ high.  For easy access, these bare blocks are stored 10 rows high and under our 10 ton walking power crane system.  We also have fork lifts to help load them.  These items will require shipping by at least two 45′ enclosed semi-truck van trailers as the total weight is over 70,000 pounds, (Over 35 Tons!), and it will require a commercial shipping address with a truck dock and a fork lift.  A residential address can’t be used.  If you furnish you own semi-trucks, we will help you load them for no extra charge!
