i took apart the block because it had a huge hole and well it blew a rod i took it to a shop where they said it could be respun but not 100percent that it would be perfect so with that in mind i figured i didnt want to spend the money since im not really into building a fast motor and what not. from what i hear this is the best crank to use to go lsv and most reliable maybe someone else can say something? will get pics asap i only want 50 for the bare block has pistons and 3 rods still attached
