I think the cradle was only $29.99, but might have been on sale.

Engine will need new core plugs all around and I will re-gasket and check every thing over before install.

Plan to do compression, oil pressure checks where it sits and probably test fire it. According to the castings it is a '68 block and the stamped suffix code ends in CCA. Closest I can find to that is from a nova site:

1973
6-cylinder
CCA - 250cid w/powerglide


I does have a flex plate and no pilot bushing, so may be. But, I wouldn't think a block would hang around from '68 to '73 before use, but who knows.
