    Guess that's why it was free. Pity you're so damn far away. I'd be keen but freight's going to be a killer.

    If I was your original block you would fully resleave it but money for a close block is different to a block that is original just my thought close date code and number is cool, but the right eng number would be better. Hard to find nowadays !

    Maybe it'd clean up with a hone and a new set of pistons and rings...... depends on how bad the rust is. It may still be useable, I've seen a lot of bores clean up well when they 1st looked too rusty.
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
