It looks like it, as long as the sleeves have no cracks, and the mains were never overheated from a spun bearing. It should be decked so you don't have any issues with coolant leaks, or oil seepage from those crankcase tubes. I definately wouldn't run it w/o decking, since the iron sleeve tops look too corroded for a quick scotch-brite pad.

my intentions were of decking it, but would i need to fill in the aluminium where its been chipped off?? does it need to be decked flat?

your machinist should be able to fix that or take the block get it welded then resurfaced. i would talk it over with who ever does your machining. if you dont have the block welded you may have to take alot off the deck surface. i would want to take as little as you have to off the deck surface.
