Came across a guy that may want to sell a 1275 block. it has main caps, 12YTaH#### and 70.5mm bores.
From what I can tell it's a 1100 S block but if you guys can provide some more info I'd appreciate it.
Also what cc is 70.5mm? and mostly what's it worth?

std bore , with a tiny bit of wear by the sounds of it

worth--> probly $400-ish

depending if you think 1275 blocks are getting hard to get or not
for some reason there are people out there who reckon they`re not worth more than $200, but i beg to differ... If i had hundreds of them then yeah $200 would be fair
but i don`t want to sell any of the ones that i have because i don`t have hundreds of em

so,,, $400 plus is what they`re worth if everything is peachy

I've posted as much as I know about the block, I'm 99% sure it's a 1100S block but I don't know if it was originally a large or small journal or what :? .

Doesn't matter which, both these blocks are good. They take either type crank. Or an S crank (with thrust washers thinned down, like mine).
