Small Block Chevy 283 Engine Short Block 3756519 1961 Corvette & Fullsize Mar 2

I recently bought a large collection of parts from a life long Corvette collector and restorer in my area. This man spent a good part of his life chasing and collecting parts to restore 1956-1962 Corvettes. This collection included many orignal engines, engine blocks, cylinder heads, transmissions, rear differentials, fuel injection conponents, and much more. See my other listings for more parts from the same collection. This listing is for the following item: This is a real deal Small Block Chevrolet 283 engine block. The casting number is 3756519. The casting date is is C 1 with the year hard to make out but I think it is a 1. That makes the block cast on March 2nd of 1959, 1960, or 1961.. The 3756519 block was used exclusively for 1959-1961 283 engines. This is a very hard to find short block The pad on on the passenger front deck surface is is hard to decifer but does not look factory. This is the same casting block used on Corvette applications from single 4 barrel models all the way to the top dog fuel injection models. This is an awesome block for a number's matching restoration! This short block came out of a Corvette collectors estate as mentioned above. Since the owner was not able to give me the history, I don't know much about this short block. It was nicely wrapped up and the owner definitely cared about it. This shortblock consists of the block, crankshaft, rods, pistons, camshaft, timing cover, and balancer as shown. It looks like a fairly fresh build. The pistons are stamped 80 which shows the block is .080 over. That may seem like a lot but these blocks were routinely bored to 4 inch back in the day. I see flaws at the top of one cylinder above the ring land as shown. I see no sleeves or other issues with this shortblock. The only strange thing I see is three of the rod caps have the nuts tightened finger tight. Due to this, I am selling this shortblock as a good rebuildable core even though it looks like it have very little use. Don't miss this awesome 1959-1961 283 shortblock. This is simply an awesome original 283 short block.   Don't miss this awesome chance to own a real deal  283 engine short block! Check out my other listings for more rare and hard to find parts. Shipping: I will be happy to palletize this engine at a cost of $20 which is what it will cost for the straps and pallet. I will also drop this engine off at any shipping terminal within 45 miles of Santa Cruz, CA for a $100 charge. Shipping arrangements and payment are the responsibility of the buyer. Most of my customers end up using freightquote.com or uship. The weight of the short block when palletized will be about 350 pounds. Local pickup is also a great option.
