A 52 rust-free is a rarity in itself!
I'm sure you can find a good replacement block. Check our "For Sale" section from time to time or submit a request in the "Parts Wanted"... I'd be willing to bet someone has one for you.
Good luck!

Good luck with the engine search, they're a little more scarce in Canada, look for a heavier Chevrolet truck, they used GMC engines. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Welcome Mike, forget about Allstate.
