Been a little bit since I updated this.
We brought the block down to the engine builder. He said he basically couldn't do anything with it since the main bearings were already bored .20
He did say he had another (new) block sitting in one of his storage containers. He was going to pull it out and see what kind of condition it was in and let us know.
The heads had two intake bolts broken off that I didn't notice. He was going to try and get them out. So we are basically sitting waiting for info from him.
I did however make a contact with one of my customers who has an 85 tbird that he is pulling the block and putting a newer roller block in it. He said I could have the existing engine.
I went over to take a look at it and he started it up. Ran very smooth and quiet. So we have a few options just waiting for the engine builder.
