JJ! Are you trying to pass off what is clearly just a boat anchor as a 1500 block?!?!?
Too funny! :laugh:

That block could actually be saved by sleeving the bores (I have been salvaging a lot of earlier car's blocks with sleeving, and the new sleeves are better material than what Fiat used 50 years ago). But since it's not the last one, it's better as a jack stand.
Rob,
I can think of four different 1500 blocks. Any preference?

My Lord... I would be hard pressed to even use it as an anchor. It would probably make a better REEF or BREAKWATER and a home for crabs and sea urchins!
Sleeving with modern materials would yield a better block. I must admit I only know of two blocks, the 10 bolt and the 14 bolt, so good to know there are more variants.
My first preference is for a 10 bolt block to match the 10 bolt Yugo head I am currently working on.
I'd prefer something close to Denver since I figure the cost of shipping a block would be horrendous?
The block will be bored out to accept 87mm pistons and will be run with a 67.4mm crank.
So, roughly, how much does sleeving add to the cost of a basic bore and hone?
Cheers,
Rob
You have 4 blocks:
carbureted
early FI with big head bolts
later with small head bolts
14 bolts
