Thumbs down some help needed.

Hello guys ,

I have little problem I craked a cilinder wall on my truck , I bought the truck with a fully build LQ4 , I was told by the builder that the engine got bore to 4.125'' or .125'' over at first I though I blew a gasket but later while looking for some head gaskets a summit tech told me that it was too much thats when I checked the cylinder wals and #2 has a big crack, Now I need to buy another block I looked into a LSX but with a 2k price tag seems a bit off my budget any Ideas?

Thanks
Gil

Engine specs;

LQ4 bored .125''
LS6 heads
magna charger 13psi pulley
180 N.O.S direct port wet
JE Forged piston flat top
Carrillo rods
GM performance forged crank
3200 stall converter
ETC..
