Diamond block

[Randy Lausch]

I have a diamond motor complete I don’t know any thang about it it what is it worth I would like to trade it for a cowl in good shape

Diamond blocks are merely blocks made after normal production ceased. they are a bit newer, had hard seats in the exhaust but not much, if anything, else. Value? Maybe a bit more than a production block but not much.

Location and what cowl?

 

[Randy Lausch]

I’m in mi by the Indiana line. The cowl doesn’t matter because I’m just making a doodle bug.

Randy, I don’t have a cowl to trade, but would you consider selling the block? Thanks, Fred

I had a Diamond block (Aug 1936) with a bad center main, sold just the block for $100. With the cost to rebuild, I was happy with the money and the buyer was happy also. I did keep the miced standard crank though. Drive your "A". LRF
