D1ve-a2b Ford 429/460 Big Block

[robjs111]

Can anybody tell me if this is a good block or not and what it is worth?? Also has a 2 bolt main. There is one on ebay right now and the current price is $800. This is how much i know so far:
D1VE-A2B... YEAR 1971 460 CI,LITRE 7.5 BORE 4.36

Here is the ebay listing:

eBay Motors: 429 460CJ, Cobra Jet ford engine block, Fresh .030 bore (item 200223088241 end time May-17-08 06:42:31 PDT)

Way too much $$, IMO. The past two that I have bought were complete used engines, the most expensive of which was $250. Nothing special about that block. The 4-bolt main block is more desirable.

what is so special about the cobra jets and super cobra jet compared to D1VE-A2B??

D1VE-6015-AB / AB1 / AB2 = 1971 thru midyear 1979 429/460 bare block casting numbers.

This is NOT the block used with P/C, CJ or S/CJ engines.

These are the casting numbers for blocks used 1971/79 on passenger cars (T-Bird, Lincoln Town Car/Mark III & IV, etc) / 1973 midyear 1979 F100/350's.

$800.00? Uh huh...

Wait till the buyer gets a load of what he bought, a used 429 or more likely because of the AB2 (last) casting number, a 460 engine from 1975 thru 1979.

just cuzz somthing says cj or scj dont mean its worth the big bucks, i got 12 2bolt blocks out here and most expensive one was a $100. find ya a complete 429/460 for 50 or 100 bucks as a core from a salvage yard and build it

I think shipping would be a bear that far. I have a complete '72 429 that I would take $125 for. It would have to rebuilt though. If you want to check on shipping I am at 72450 zip.
