Default '61-'64 389 bare block or short block?

Looking for a '61-'64 389 bare block or short block. Both my blocks are cracked. Needs to be in or close to Ohio. The closer to Columbus, OH the better. Thanks.

I think we might be able to help you out. Give my dad a call at 937-882-1329. It's best to catch him in the afternoon up until about 7p.m. We're about an hour away from Columbus.

I've got a '64 GP block you can have for the gas to come pick it up. I'm about 45 miles south of Columbus. PM me if interested

Be sure you know what you are asking for. 61s-64s have different bellhousing patterns. I am surprised the other guys here have not told you that already. It would be in your interest to ask for a specific year you need.

best to you with what you need.

Steve- please clarify, The only difference that I have heard of was that some cars got blocks that were drilled for starter mounting that year. I was under the impression that big cars still used the bellhousing mounted starter. Please let me know what else might be different. Thanks.

Trump, I also have a block (actually a rebuildable, complete running engine)...but the main question is, what year block do you NEED?

Year isn't that important to me it's for a hot rod build. I bought a "rebuilt engine" and the last guy used too long of a bolt on the timing cover and busted through the blind hole and started a hairline crack headed for Main Journal #1.

I just need a block that I can take to the machine shop and then move everything from the busted block to a new one. The busted block was a '63 389 block.

Thanks for the leads and help fellas.

I checked and we do have a block (actually a couple). I'll have to double check the years. I can provide this machined and ready to switch all the components or switch the components for you if you wish...or you can just buy the block. Let me know.
