well thats hard to say, although copper blocks are really rare they do wear rather rapidly, although the copper blocks do have a superior heat tranfer rate... On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

Why would an S block wear faster?

Cooper blocks with decent life left in them, IE std ,+20 or +40 and not cracked can fetch up to £300. The 970 block is only any use to some one building the 970s or a short stroke engine, this is because it is some what shorter in hight.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

i noticed that vegard said the number is on a plate and not the block but ihave a spare block that has 970 stamped on it on the top hand side on the flat next to the rocker cover. I hope that makes sense. Am i in luck to have one of these blocks? Caution !!!! Slippery when boosting |

The 970 and 1071 blocks are of the same height btw, so this would also be useable for someone building a 1071. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

If its std and in good condition you'd be looking well over £300 maybe £350 for the block and caps alone. If its on a big bore +60/120 then your looking at £200ish.
I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

Well, they're just milled down 1275 blocks after 64, but no 970 or 1071 cars did leave factory with thick flange blocks. The thich flange block appeared in 66 a year after production of the 970 seased. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
