Machine shop just called.. Now what
Well they said the block is no good... has a bad gouge in one of the cylinders and the crank is done.. so i need a new short block... any other options on blocks? i have good heads , intake, and all acc. Trying to keep a budget since this isnt a track car or anything.. just a fun weekend 385- 400 hp car.

I have a crank that is freshly machined turned 10 10 with a full rotating assembly that is already balanced, full set of coated bearings mains and rods. All you need is a block pistons and rods are factory absolutly no damage.
I was jsut about to post this and I read your thread.
