1967 Early Dated Standard Bore Hipo block SOLD pending payment

[Bob Gaines]

SOLD pending payment at Carlisle. Up for sale is a recently restored 1967 early casting date hipo block. I have owned this block for a couple years anticipating using it for a early double digit Shelby VIN project that didn't materialize. The casting date is 6 J 12 which decodes as September 12 of 1966. I had a will thought of Midwest engine building shop,  Eagle Machine INC. near  Buffalo Missouri restore the block . The block had all 8 cylinders sleeved back to standard bore, line bored, cam bearings and freeze plugs installed. The engine block is ready for final assembly. The previous owner of the block had poorly restamped the sequential portion of the Ford VIN for some reason and since it was not done well and wouldn't match my prospective car anyway I had Eagle machine eliminate the complete VIN which they did a extremely good job of doing. I live in Kansas City for pick up however I can delivery free to Carlisle All Ford show or Tulsa MCA National in late July or MCA grand National/SAAC national convention in late August. 3500.00 is what I have in the purchase of the block and all of the machine work so that no haggling on the  price. PM me for any questions. Thank you for looking.
