Wanted 305 Block for 86-87 or 87-91 Period Correct

[85-K5Blazer]

Looking primarily for a rebuildable 5.0 / 305 block only or engine that can be rebuilt. Machine shop had purchased all the parts and started to bore when it was determined my original block was not going to be able to be rebuilt. I have all parts to rebuild but a block.

I am restoring an 1987 R10 and my factory block had a core shift during the casting .. never heard of it but "it" happens.

The following cast numbers would work to keep it period correct. ... they all had an available Vin Code "H" I believe.

14102058 (my block cast number)
14093627
14088551

I live in Southeast Texas and willing to drive within 5 hours any direction. For me this is a sweeping radius from Texas - Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth to Baton Rouge, New Orleans Louisiana.

Would consider shipping for good core only.

This rebuild will go to second daughter .. the Blazer shown in profile Picture goes to first daughter.

I have a 305 from an ‘86 I believe. Let me go get some numbers off of it.

This is its current state. Pulled it for a 8.1 swap. I also have videos of it running. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks for checking .. I am trying to stay with period correct so that cast number is out of the range.

Certainly appreciate you checking for me.

Totally understand that!

My last plug, can’t go wrong with an engine that has the last 3 digits of the code saying “777” lol.

If something changes let me know. I’m going to hold on to this so it’s not going anywhere. Also, I’m traveling to Waxahachie this summer so could arrange For a meet up then if you end up interested.

Good luck dude!
