I recently droped a valve on my 390 at 5500 rpm . the head and piston are junk, the cylinder has 3 cracks .One is a hair line crack that that goes into the deck. Can this be sleaved or is this block my new end table?

Take it in and have a machinist look at it. Sometimes they can be saved but most times no because the crack goes through the wall. Bummer! If you need a 401 their are many on Ebay right now and I also may have a few left over here.

Thanks, I was at the machine shop today and was told it would make a nice end table [my son is excited nice school project] I already have a 401 block and crank that I dropped off . I would like to unload the crank, 7 rods , flywheel, one head that was ported, balancer and misc. parts . I would like to know what they might be worth?

OEM flywheel in good condition $150
Crank in good condition $150-250
7 707 forged rods $10-20 ea
Ported head $10-400 depending on who ported it...how it flowed.
