I know it's a Hail Mary to find one of these nowadays, but I am looking for one of the Chevrolet Performance Aluminum blocks for the 60-degree V6 platform. im located in the southeastern United States, but I'll drive pretty far or pay for freight shipping, so if you have one, I'm interested. Part number is 10051141.

You might post on Facebook Marketplace as well and in the 60 Degree forum. I haven't been on Pennock's much this year, but I think it has been many years since one of those popped up.

I've been searching for one FOREVER too... and I basically gave up.

The long and short is, there was a company that was making airplanes, and they decided (for some reason) on the 3.4 V6/60. They actually bought up all of GM's aluminum blocks, and the tooling for it. I had dug deep into this, and eventually discovered that, if I remember correctly... they went out of business and the engines were sold for scrap. They were buying them from multiple parts suppliers that had them on-hand too... so they basically cleaned house. I'll try to find the video, but there was actually a video where the CEO was talking about how the engine produced the right amount of power and weight that they needed for the engines at the time. It was in like 2012 or something.
