I'm wondering what a good price for a d16y8 block u guys think would be?

 

Bare block or complete shortblock? I got my bare block for $100 shipped.

 

I got a complete shortblock for $200 shipped.

 

$300 shipped for a full short block sound good?

 

If you notice Rydaddy right above you has one for $200. I have a spare one, but I plan on keeping it.

 

isnt the short block a pain in the *** to install? because you have to almost take apart everything?

 

read that thread on d series porting.. good info.. i'm looking for a y8 block myself.. and gonna build a 125 shot like ryan

Well, pretty much. It took me and matt about 5 hours, but we did it in a garage with no lift, and didn't just pull it all as one, we took the head and everything else off and just pulled the block and tranny. We did his car at his work where we had a lift we unbolted everything, took the tires off, set them under the motor, lowered the car down and took off the motor mounts and the motor was just sitting on his tires. It took less than an hour, but then you still have to pull the head off and all the other crap that will take forever.
