Its a good price, but used 300 engines complete are 150.00 here. Those blocks were used in the aviation industry and are good quality. http://www.aviationpros.com/product/10026311/hydrogen-engine-center-inc-oxx-power-engines

For a new, unused block, that'd be great. If those'd been available a year or two ago when I built my engine, I probably would have gotten one.

I'm not sure what it is about his ebay pictures. Maybe it's the lighting or something. But even with the listing about the blocks, they look like little toy models. Like they're about 3" long or something. Maybe it's just me....

I've got a block you can have for the cost of shipping.

Nice, but what I could use is a supply of new cranks. Seems every motor I find(around here anyways) the crank is junk

This same seller also has some 300 crankshafts that he's selling. Claims they are new, never used, $95 selling price.
Looking at the other items that are for sale, it looks like they used these 300 engines on gensets.

The shipping is more than the crank.

Yea, I saw that too. A six cylinder 300 crank is no only long, but heavy.

I was looking at these... $78.00 shipping to where I'm at. Still cheaper than a remand crank through RockAuto....

I will get one of those blocks though...Just to good a price for a new casting. Glad to hear that they are quality.

I'd love to start building a new 300. Mine has unknown mileage and noisy valvetrain...

Got to sell some of my old cleveland stuff first

That's a good price, shipping sucks though. Thanks
