There's the page with the options and all so you can see how it's be priced new today. What crankshaft is in it? Sure it's not a -2cc Diamond pistons? How much are you getting it for? Have you inspected it to make sure it is still rust free? Those iron blocks can rust if the film of oil they are covered with for shipping is rubbed off and then the block is exposed to alot of moisture and such!

Yeah we have 408's starting around $3600 depending on how they are optioned. It just depends what all you are getting with the short-block.

Moisture is my main concern. I live in Canada so if the block was not in a safe garage, rust will be there. The guy said its -3cc so that why i'm asking if somthing wrong on this. Still waiting for the crankshaft. Thanks for your time Matt, that was an answer I was looking for.

The problem for the 3600$ deal, well I think you have the answer, i'm from Canada so shipping and duty fee will apply and trust me, its a big chunk $$$$

Yea, the duties/taxes can eat up a good deal quickly going over the border! If you get a chance to see the bottom of the piston, the part number should be engraved on the bottom of the skirts and that will tell us which piston it is for sure!
