How much for a mexican made 302 block.

$25-$50 if you can find a taker.

These blocks have extra gussets in the casting to make them somewhat stronger.....

However, this was done because the material was cheaper, so it was necessary.

They are often looked at favorably in the hot-rodding world, so you might be able to get a couple extra bucks out of it over norm, but I don't know what that would be.

EEEEEENNK!!! I know hot rodders that paid as much as $500 for it because they are supposed to be a stronger block. That may or maynot be true, but some people believe it.

There is truth to the Mexican block being stronger. I have a Ford B50 block in the garage and it looks very much like a Mexican block. Ford rates the B50 to 600 hp which is 150 more than a standard block. The major improvement is the webs at the mains and main caps are thicker.

Thanks to you and all that responded. Now at least I have an idea. CJ - We can't ALL have big blocks. There wouldn't be any left for the BB folks to rebuild!

Here is what I installed after removing the 302...
