I'm sure it was a deal. But, 4.125" bore. That's it. I remember a few years ago once the R3 had came out I could buy the original R blocks for $600 a peice all day long. They will go 4.125" bore with no proble. But, the mopar guys said but so and so says I have to have an R3.

This Chevy block is cheap because they are having trouble selling them. Supply and demand. They have a large supply and can not get a big price. SO they are selling them off cheap. Not to say it is not a good buy or anything.
