have you done an A-Z cost analysis of what this is gonna cost you to have this cracked blocked re-sleeved
( time taking out engine,tearing down,machine work etc....)
Sorry but i just cannot see you coming out ( $$$$ ) repairing damaged goods when you can Buy a FACTORY ready to go un-damaged block pretty reasonable..
if you had a cracked Dart little M block or something like that i could understand repairing.
EXAMPLE:...Not ready to go but cheap enough.
