7. Comes with a C- 6 trans that needs to be rebuilt.

8. The motor comes complete as pictured.Â* ( No Carb, Starter, or Plug Wires, and No Motor Stand. )

9. I WILL ONLY SELL TO SOMEONE IN CALIFORNIA, FOR CASH ONLY !

I think that is a little steep with stock heads, no matter how much work is done to them. I don't know about the tranny. But I wouldn't pay that much for a 289.

Decent price for a guy doing a K-code restoration... but for a guy wanting to build a strong street motor you can build one much better for same or less price.
IMO

289 K block is essentially worthless without the hipo heads, which he obviously does not have. Guy's a dreamer or waiting for another sucker to be born.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

fx... youre right. I was thinking more about the date coded block for a K-code resto.... those guys will pay.... but not even that much.

What exactly was the motor blueprinted to? I think a lot of people say that a motor is blueprinted when it has actually only been balanced. Blueprinted actually refers to the motor being built to exacting standards. (i.e. Nascar motors are blueprinted so that each motor they use in the car performs identically to the other spares). Blueprinting an engine alone could cost you thousands of dollars to be done correctly.
