[FFR428]

Thats a bit steep for just the block. I found mine for $1500 complete including the tripower but needed a rebuild and going through. The block is .030. Yes most of the 406's were not crossbolted as many think by Ford but there were a few. However lots of them have been converted and it's a good upgrade as some of the 406's had the bosses for crossbolting cast into the block. Parts will be no problem to find to build it either. There is a 406 block .030 on ebay now and the last I saw sold for $800. The item number for the current listing is 4505928446. What is the casting number of the block your looking at? I can let you know if it's a factory crossbolted block or not. If it is a original crossbolt block it might be worth the money as they are few and far between. I've only seen ONE true factory crossbolted block in my time. G.
