Engine ReBuild - 5.7L V8

[MEESEN]

Nah I don't think its gonna be possible to fix it by welding it... does anyone know of any blocks new or used for sale? Or where and what company's do reproduction blocks coz my mate that work in holden spare parts says holden no longer produce them.

Thanks guys

I've had a look on ebay but all I can really find are cast iron blocks and I need a alloy block I'm pretty sure

 

[Dr HaxZaw]

you could buy a block from the usa... heard they're reasonably cheap but i havent even looked so its only what ive been told

 

[MEESEN]

Yeah that's what i was thinking but I don't know of any company's

eagel auto parts is the only website i could find but they only do short motors not just the blocks

Try suburban imports Suburban Imports or the engine centre ENGINE CENTRE - HOME PAGE or JT american imports JT American Imports.

They can always import a second hand rebuildable engine for you. They are cheap as chips in the states because there are so many of them over there. The biggest cost is the freight.

why not get a short block and slowly build it up?
