Information and education appreciated

It's a late 1996 425 block from a,Delta 98 or 88 Rocket.
D code.
Used actaully in 1967.
425 s are the Very Best Olds Engine ever made.
The forged crank is gone and the matching 7.000 inch center to center forged connecting rods.
It's priced right to buy.
Not a inexpensive project that your looking for.
Block is strong enough to take 900-1000 Hp peak like drag race.
Be a better value for you to find a complete 425 running.
Very Rare now to find that way.
 
Could build a 455 with his parts.

I think a 425 Layout is superior.
The Rod to stroke ratio is excellect.
Superior to most Chevrolet.
 
Thanks Brian. How much do you think it should cost for a beater 1966 or 67 Olds 425 car. Obviously if somebody has the motor sitting separately and they know what they have, it will be a lot of money so a fugly roached and rusted POS 4 door should be a better deal.

Question - contrast and compare an Olds 425 to a Cadillac 500 (my understanding is the Caddy 500 is the best Cadillac ever made). I using the 500 Cu in because I know they are desirable motors.

I think stock for stock a 1965-67 Olds 425 is better than a Caddie 500.
Heads flow very good.
Balanced almost perfect Exhaust to intake ratio.
They Run Really hard.
Super torque.
Wind up right now.
