Good DZ 1178 cranks go for 700.00-800.00 hundred dollars from what i experienced. DZ legit block could be around 3,000 dollars.

Standard block with a good date will typically be anywhere from 3K to 4K. Hard to find dates can push the envelope. Cranks anywhere between $600 to $1200 and standard/standard grinds always seen to go towards the higher end. Are the rods and slugs still there?

I think they're all good but April - May dates are the ones I noticed were in High demand. Lots of 05A cars built but for some reason there never seemed to be many blocks for sale in the V04 to V05 range.
