Agreed only as crazy as chiphead! LOL I'm not buying the idea there are any "Stock/standard" bore 400's with a useable cylinder after 40 yrs. especially for $100. If you can find these blocks at "Welfare" prices you better buy as many as you can find because it will fund your retirement on the resale. JD
