What would you do with this block?

[QOTHL]

1. I use vinegar and water to derust stuff.

yeah, that would give it a good douche.

 

[QOTHL]

Steady on.....

Go ahead, guess!

 

[QOTHL]

I voted to scrap it....it's toast !

But while you wait to take it off to the scrap dealer to get your 50 cents worth.....advertise it on FB Marketplace or CraigsLip for $500.....say it is from a rare 3rd Gen Dodge Charger with a moonroof.....should get some people fighting over it.

If you do a nice job cleaning it up and putting a nice piece of glass on it for a coffee table you can get as much as $3000 for it.

I have a '67 440 block in my garden with less rust on that the one in the OP post....and I don't think I would waste my time cleaning it up for a boat anchor.

Sure not worth my time. But when I was collecting blocks/motors there were plenty available at a reasonable price.

You could make a killing on specialty coffee tables.

I doubt it! LOL

I'm not going to vote scrap or save until you know more. The worst pictures are of the heads, but the question is about the block.

I would pull it apart. If it is still standard bore, then after hot tanking and boring the block it might very well be fine. But you have no idea until you pull it apart to check mains, bores, etc.

We don't know at this point, he hasn't posted casting numbers. But, if it is a thick main 230 or 630, it could be the strongest oem b/rb block Mopar ever made. The '73 date means it could be. He won't know anything about it till he gets the crank and pistons out.
It's up to him if that might be worth the time and effort. If he was trying to build a 700hp 512, it would be.

Google molasses bath for derusting parts.
