This is what I came home with the other day... :D

The 225 cast 68-75 engine block is absolutely new. I was the first to open the crate. It has no stamped numbers on the pad. New crankshaft for the very same block. Two 225 aluminum blocks, one head gasket. One block that appears to be in excellent condition and the other one has some corrosion damage.

I have had my eyes out for all of this for a few years but previous owner did not want to sell since he was talking of someday he might build... But he came to his senses and I got a amazingly good deal on all of it.

What GAS is? Gear Acquisition Syndrome someone told me.

Are you sure? The way I read and see it, the iron block is new/unused; the two aluminum blocks are used.
