RE: 440 blocks

[Bob Fortson <bobt1885@xxxxxxxxx>]

The going price around here (South Carolina) is from a
low of $275 to a high of $450 with $350 being the
normal. This is for Wrecking yard "rebuildable core".
 You're not getting the crank and stuff, but you ain't
gotta' tear it down either...sooooooooo.
