Big Block F/I 496 for sale NEW!

[thirtytwovalvevette]

I have a Vortec 8.1 liter (496) big block for sale. This is the latest and greatest version of the venerable big block. It features port fuel injection, coil on plug ignition, and comes complete from oil pan to intake as well as flywheel. This is a Mercruiser long block originally intended for a speed boat application, but I have a standard automotive oil pan and dipstick included as well. This is an all new crate engine and has never been run. Asking $4,000 please e-mail or call for more info. Thirtytwovalvevette@excite.com or

I am curious as well. Sometimes items like this sell the same week, other times they sit in a warehouse for 5 years.

Too bad AFR doesnt have heads for those (or do they?) Id love to see the power potential of one of those. BIG BLCOKS!!

i`m running a 496 in a dragboat. the bore is 4.310 with a 4.250 stroke. brodix aluminum heads. 265 pound hull. the .060 overbore and the .250 stroke really wakes up a big block. it takes all the courage i can muster.

i know what you mean,richard...im running a .070" over 454.full roller in a 25' baja dynoed at 535 hp...nothing compares to a bb chevy for sound and power...my first vette was a 65 with a 396,and sidepipes...too much is just enough !!
