71_super_nova Oct 15th, 03, 4:56 PM hey guys, i have a chance to get a (2001)502 long block for $500. "The number 3 piston went" bent a valve and scratched a cylinder wall. I havent seen it, but is this a good deal? Also will my Dart iron eagles work on that block? Gary at GMPP Oct 16th, 03, 12:59 PM I'll take it and pay the shipping....who do I call? FIG Oct 16th, 03, 1:48 PM Must be a great deal if Gary has popped in on it :D Now what was that number again? ;) Tracy Focht Oct 16th, 03, 3:55 PM :eek: graemlins/beers.gif pdq67 Oct 16th, 03, 8:05 PM Now that's what I like to hear instead of the old "5 and 50" thing!!! You know, the old "five minutes and fifty feet" guarantee!! He, He!!! pdq67 71_super_nova Oct 17th, 03, 10:55 AM Well, found out it wasn't a 502 long block. After asking the guy to get me the casting numbers I found out it was a 8.1L (496) long block. I don't know if this would be good for a performance engine. any thoughts? Can this thing be used with a carb with the right manifold? Tracy Focht Oct 17th, 03, 4:30 PM the 496 is the new block...get it! 71_super_nova Oct 17th, 03, 5:07 PM Originally posted by Tracy Focht: the 496 is the new block...get it! I know it's the new block. But what good is it? What heads will it take, other than the stock ones? Are there any performance parts for it? Can I put a carb and intake on it and run it that way? Gary at GMPP Oct 22nd, 03, 4:17 PM Pass on it. Long stroke, small bore truck engine with truck heads. Great torque, little high RPM race and hot rod type potential. | ||
