I was planning on building a pretty mild 451 for street use only. I have access to some 400 heavy main blocks. Any reason not to use one of these blocks? Do they sell for much more than a standard 400 block? I hate to use one, if they are in demand for race engines. Give me your opinion. TIA
If they are the 230(I believe thats the number) blocks some guys will pay a good price for them... for a mild street engine, use any good 400 block

Yes, they are 230 blocks.
The "230" blocks came both ways, thick and standard mains.I have one of the thick ones and two that are not Only some of the first castings made bewteen 07-71 and 10-71, I think, where the cold weather thick main web blocks In other words not all the early "230" castings where the better thick main web ones
He did say thick web Blocks
