I would love to have the block from the TO30 ...There is no aftermarket source for these blocks... The TO30's are known to have cracked block problems,and I personally don't trust the idea of welding...The cracks occur deep inside,between the cylinders...Please if you have the time,save the parts that can't be replaced.....Even though today there are lots of aftermarket items that keep most of these Fergies running....Blocks are not to be found.You can however,find just abount anything else.A good Z129 block.....I wouldnt let go for less than $1000.00.You can buy every after market piece to rebuild to better than new....except for the block.....If you have no takers on your offer,at least pull the motors,and even then strip down and get rid of everything....except for the blocks..You'll be glad you saved them..... .pull the heads....look (after a good scrapeing) at the cylinders if they suffer,any cracks,you should be able to see them at the top,between the cylinders.Taking the block to a machine shop,and having it magnafluxed,would verify,any cracks or not.If you were lucky enough to,find good blocks,with the magnafluxed,documentation..Thats a clean $1000.00....These cracks over time migrate,on downwards,and all the way into the ,main bearing area.....nearly impossible,to repair,with any confidence..... ...Save the blocks
