Rodeck 481 BBC block info needed

(1/2) > >>

FEDNV:
So I have someone local that is selling a Rodeck 481 BBC short block. I really cannot find any info online for these blocks. It has a very wide water pump that is obviously special to this block and it does look to take a BBC oil pan and normal BBC heads.

Does it take a normal BBC timing setup?

It also looks to have spacers for the intake.

Any information is appreciated.

dreracecar:
If you hurt it, where are you going to find parts for it?

FEDNV:
That is why I am asking questions as I really do not know anything about these blocks.  I did read on another site these are not made anymore but someone said parts are available, but I have not been able to find anything online about the block or any spare parts.

H.G. Wells:
Isn't Rodeck still around?

I know my brother called him about a block a couple years ago. Grumpy old fart, but he did answer the questions.
And he was quick to say that they did not support the old stuff.

Is the one you are looking at a dry sump?

FEDNV:
From what I have heard they have now been closed for a few years.  Maybe I will try that number?

The block has a standard oil filter and is a wet sump setup currently.

Here is a link to all the pics of the motor and heads.
