Im working on a deal for a 1967 383 motor that's been sitting for a few years , but he says its got 8000 miles on a rebuild. Hes throwing in a set of 440 heads and exhaust maifolds. He had it for sale for a month with no takers at 350.00 for everything. He offered it to me for 150.00 just to make some room. Sounds like a deal to me , What does everyone think?
 
Geez, for $150 not sure you an go wrong. Even if you parted it and scrapped the block you'd pretty much get that back. Nice score.
 
Just went and checked it out. Turns out the 383 has 440 heads he said are off a 78 new Yorker and he no longer has the manifolds to go with the motor. The motor seems clean,and complete. Has a 4 barrel intake, water pump , fuel pump he just wants it gone. Im gonna offer a 100 bucks and see what happens.
 
That is harsh, man. You sure drive a hard bargain. ;)
 
Hopefully someone will buy it from him before you get back to him. Offering him $100 is like a slap in the face. Lowballing at it's best.
 
What's the worst he can say, no? Let us know how it goes.
 
Just got home with it, we decided on 125.00. Deal of the week for me!
 
I've been looking for a deal like that! Well done!
 
no such thing as 440 heads. They interchanged between all the b/rb motors. What casting numbers are they.
