I see you are from Dorr Township is that Michigan?
in regards to your cracked block, is it the original block? What research have you done to determine if it can be repaired? If you are going to build a new engine regardless I think the smartest starting point is with the original.
Yes, I am from Michigan.
and yes, it was the original block. Im being told that there is only a chance that it could be fixed. It would have to be furnace welded, and with it being .060 over already, i might have trouble still. Plus where the crack is im pretty sure that the 75 block will be stronger.
The crack is from red line to red line. across 2 main journals.
