I'm seriously thinking of raffling off my BME 4.500" bore block (still needs all machine work). Putting this out here to see if there is any interest.
Not sure where I'll host the raffle, but I'm thinking 200 spots, $100.00 per spot. Some of the proceeds are going toward a missing person search that I'm involved with. Whatever is left I’ll put toward another block.
edit: A friend is missing her son in Northeastern Nevada close to where I’m from. We’re organizing a big search effort to clear areas of the mountain range where he went missing.

Is this a new block or used ? I'm in.

I would be in.

Hemi or wedge?

New block, no machine work done. Unfinished bores @4.490” and lifter bushings need to be sized, etc.
What are the rules for doing a raffle here? Must be in the “for sale” section?

Mike

Wedge.

Haha, now that I think about it, I guess it was a dumb question....

Maybe Tom will see this ans offer his advise. Is 440Source a Moparts sponsor yet? Good luck Mike! I will send a pm to Tom and maybe he can give his insight!

I am in for that raffle.

Best of luck finding your friend. That is horrible.

I’d be in also, thanks Mike

Is it a cast iron or aluminum block?

I made this post a sticky , and wish you best of luck on finding the missing boy

Best place to list this is here , will get the most traffic here in the Race Forum

Guess I should add , This is Mike's from 440 Source Raffle ,
so Moparts is not involved in any way, other than letting him post the thread !

I am in on some tickets

I want in as well. What do I need to do?

Aluminum, RB 10.720 deck

I'll be posting instructions on how to enter, disclaimers, shipping, methods, etc., possibly in a separate post later today or tomorrow.

Thank you all for your interest and support.

Mike

Tom, thank you.
This means a lot to me.

Mike

Mike...Check your pm...

I’m in!

edit:. Mike [/quote] 200 x $100.00=$20,000.00
I paid $3300.00 for my Bulldog Iron block with all the machine work done several years back, with the shipping to central Oregon.
$6300.00 ( I think) for my K.B. aluminum wedge 4.500 bore block finished machined with shipping also seven years ago before KB moved out of Canada, not sure about the exchange rate on the U.S. Dollar to Canadien dollars were back then I paid in U.S. currency
