hi guys in just wondering what type of price a new old stock genuine a8 rb30 block would bring. it is still in the original GMH crate and grease packaging. The bloke has had it for 10 years. not sure if to use it of sell it. what are your suggestions???

put it in your lounge room lol

Pics or else it doesn't exist.

What he said ^

saw one on ebay while back. complete n/a rb30. manifolds bout $3k

End of the day once it's in the car it's no better then another rb block

Virgin Block! Hard to say what it would be worth??Everyone to there own. Cheers Marty

I would put it in a vl that was show room condition, that doesnt get driven very often.

is it just me or does it look like the blocks been ''o''ringed

^ was guna say the same thing!

Interesting I was curious when I first read your thread, how a brand new block could be an A8 considering it doesn't yet have an engine number? Still an awesome piece to have Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yes it has been steel oringed, I know two people that have bought these, one of them bought one for 400 a couple of years ago! and the other bought it for 500 last year

DId you get it from NSW by any chance?

All blocks from midway thru the VL build had these water and oil outlets,It became standard.Nice to own one like this. Cheers Marty

Yeah thanks heaps mate so all I think it needs to be stamped a8 whould that be right? Is there anything else different to an a8 to an n/a

id say its a na block because of the plugs in the oil & water outlets, my mate brought a NOS turbo block and it had the oil return in it from the factory

I right that interesting. The guy I got it off had a vl turbo that all he ever has and he brought this block so I couldn't see him buying an n/a block. I maybe wrong tho

basicly the internals are the only difference between the a6 & a8 anyways
