The guy says there is a little bit of damage...nothing that can't be taken to the machine shop...

Looks like a great start for a sleeved motor built for forced induction.

actually that block might be beyond sleeving. id take pics and send it over to GE and see if it can actually be fixed. that block is pretty well screwed over.

I'm pretty sure that he's not going to do anything with this motor. Basically a stock b16, something that he could get for pretty cheap..
