For Sale 1968 Chrysler 440 crate motor

[Samplingman]

Not a core but an nos short block.

...with a blank VIN pad??

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Sorry... that's what I meant. Thanks for straightening me out there!

So, do we know for sure that it truly is an NOS short block?

What could it be otherwise.

Yes it has a blank vin pad...

 

[Samplingman]

Yes it has a blank vin pad...

So, back in the day, would they stamp the VIN on the replacement core or leave it blank?

 

[detmatt]

I think they were left blank.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

I am not familiar with how that all worked back then, so hence the questions. I'm just trying to see if this motor is worth following up on.

 

[detmatt]

Depending on the price it doesn't get much better than this.

 

[morepar]

True! thats why I did not put a price on it... taking offers

 

[detmatt]

Site rules are that you price your parts.

 

[morepar]

Thanks Dematt will do! Im truly thinking 2500.00 bo

I personally think that's a fair price, good for you.

Any idea of shipping cost to Buffalo NY?

Get a quote. I'd guess about 400lbs. they shipped my Stub frame from California to NJ for $350.

I was hopefully looking to steal this. I underestimated you guys.
Shame on me.

Not sure I'd want to use this as-is, I may want to pull it apart and maybe replace the rings, even the bearing may have issues. I can see a few months or even a year or so but it is always best to rotate the assembly every few months.
