I am selling a BRAND NEW TA Performance Aluminum V-6 block!
*** It could be an ON or OFF Center version, your choice! (see below) ***
The one I physically have right now is an OFF-Center version with a rough bore of approx 3.88 to 3.89 (checked with calipers to give rough idea) and has a dipstick tube provision (perfect stock block upgrade!). It's the same as what you would get ordering one from TA, brand new, never had a thing done to it (sweeeet!!!).
I can deliver it to the GSCA Nat's and/or Norwalk events at no charge. You can also come here (44201 OH) to pick it up. Otherwise, there will be a shipping charge (approx $100 US48) to get it to you. If you are thinking of getting one, NOW is the time & can save a bunch!
As for ON or OFF Center….
There is a good chance I can get it exchanged for an ON CENTER version (thanks to Mike @ TA) for the same price if someone is VERY SERIOUS on buying one & wants a deal. The buyer would just have to pay for shipping this block to TA and the new block to their address (or their machine shop). I might be able to get them swapped for next to nothing if we can find someone driving from AZ to Nat’s. Will check into it if needed & help make it worth doing if I can.
Price NEW from TA is basically $4000 + shipping (and tax if in AZ)
My price is $3600 cash or Postal Money Order (sorry can't accept cc's on this). So if picking up at the Nats, you have the potential to save $500+ on the deal (counting shipping saved)! The ON center version would be same price, but would involve possible shipping costs to swap them with TA. Please E-MAIL ME DIRECTLY on this, do NOT call to get info/details etc, I will help what I can to work it out & save you money.
First person to Email me saying they will buy it will get 72 hrs to send at least a $300 deposit. I will then take backup offers from anyone interested in case the first deal doesn't work out for some reason. If no deposit is received or the deal falls thru for some reason, then the next person in line will be able to send a deposit & work out arrangements to get it. My goal is to get this sold & arranged so I can bring to the Nat's to deliver (if necessary) to save the buyer shipping charges.
Also, the buyer will have the option to get a set of the matching HRpartsNstuff motor mounts for it at $50 off (our new lower price) to help out some more!
I REALLY wish I could keep it & build it, but right now I am expanding the business & REALLY need the money much more than the block. It's been torture since I got it, since I would LOVE to run one of these! Just bad timing right now with the biz growing. I have a good feeling that next year will be my time to play a little
...And it will DEFINITELY be a BUICK!
Here is the "general" info from the TA Perf website on their blocks:
TA Performance, again has gone were no other Buick parts vendor has gone before... The first ever aftermarket Buick cylinder block! Designed specifically for the performance minded Turbo 6 enthusiast, this block offers the strength and options that previous blocks did not provide. The TA block incorporates superior rigidity and similar cubic inch potential to the Stage 2 iron blocks with out alienating the street and strip individual. This block incorporates all the necessary features to be used as are placement block for a daily driver all the way to a 2000 HP full race application, and everywhere in between!
