That block could be repaired, but it would have been easier if he had noticed the hole long before it got that big. If it isn't your original, then no big deal to you.

Yeah, I'm no engine builder, but I thought the same thing?? I'm kind of glad we went with another block though, because the first one had a "spot" on one of the bores that, to my untrained eye, didn't look too good?? It wasn't the original block so there's that!!

Another thought that just came to me was, couldn't it have been used for a race only motor and then filled up with "concrete" (or whatever they use for quarter-mile stuff)??
