you should do everything ya can on a numbers block..on a desirable car

technology has changed, unless its cracked thru the main webs its fixabale..

sleeves save cylinders....even if they need "wet" sleeves theres a fix

spray welding save blocks with windows (moper guys use this..most every hemi raced windows the blocks)..and can be a near invisible repair

and cracks can be fixed by driving pins and spray welding in combo..

they can put blocks in ovens bring to temp weld and they sit in there for 3 days to cool...

unless its a "structure" thats takes all the stress, theres no reason not to save a block today..just have to ask how much do you want to spend..
