Default Wanted 1968 SBC engine 350 casting#3914678

I'm looking for a chevy 350 engine bare block, short block or complete with the casting # 3914678. The engine must be rebuildable.

That is a fairley common block. It came in three displacements 302 327 and 350 all used the same block. Nothing special unless your looking for the 302 DZ block.

I'm figuring you have a 68 SS and are wanting to restore the car with the engine to be period correct?
If so, you also want the block to have either the MN, the MS (w/manual trans), or MU (w/powerglide) suffix code on the front pad.

Yes I am looking for this block so I can be year specific on my 68 SS project. The problem is that Im from WA state and have yet to locate either a rebuildable 3914678 block. If its more than a bare block or a complete engine Im looking for a 350. Would prefer the block to have a build date before 4/30/68 and with the MU stamping. Im still looking if anyone has any leads for me here on the west coast!!

Default Still looking?

I didn't see this thread until just recently. Are you still looking for a block? I live on the Northern Oregon coast and I do have a 3914678 block, shoot me a message and I will respond with some pictures once I can get back to my storage unit. It's a factory refurbished block and still retains the 4" bore, and has the correct 350 crankshaft, cam and timing gears / chain attached. Let me know if you're interested.
