Looks like it sat out for sometime. My GE block was wrapped in plastic and sat in the garage for a month or so. I have a few SMALL rust particles but nothing that major. That looks like it needs a good cleaning. As long as the cylinder wall aren't scored or rusted up I would say it should be OK.

ya, give it a good hone and it should be fine.

 

could i hone it or do i need to take it to a machine shop???

I think you could hone it. I honed my first LS block not having a clue what I was doing. During break in all my compression # were dead even at 210. As long as you do each cylinder consistantly you will be fine. I say give it a god 4-5 strokes using plenty of oil and you will be golden.
