**lbnaz** · #1 04-24-2016, 05:43 PM

Selling a used 4 bolt main 512 short block that just came out of storage since the 80's. The casting number is 3963512 dated H2570. It is bored what looks fresh .030 over with 7-Manley #5600 pistons and 1-TRW L2300 piston. They appear to be 11-1 I think by the dome size. I took photos of the tops. Must of had issues at some time to switch the piston. There is no cam in it but has new cam bearings. The crank is a 6223 I have not pulled a cap to see if its turned. The lifter valley area has been smoother off. There is no stamping on the pad. Price is 2100 plus shipping. I'll put it inside a GM engine crate and deliver it to a terminal buyer pays shipping. Call or email Larry 520-349-2337

Also have a set of 840 heads that were for this.

TRW LF2300 is a 10.25:1 w/closed chamber heads. Can't verify the Manleys, but they look to be the same.
Two guys commented that with L2300 .030 & using 104 cc and 109.4 cc heads, their respective compression ratio was 9.60 & 9.40 (estimated).

Agree -- I didn't look like there was enough dome for a 12.5:1 ... still a nice piece ... TAZ
