Man That sucks the lifter bores were cracked, but it's a good thing he found it.
Good to hear you found another block.
My engines are just sitting in pieces. Someday....

The block was cracked above the lifters, about 8" long . End to end, on both sides of the block. About 2" below the deck.

The cracked block came with my car when I purchased it 2 years ago. Came as an assembled, used short block. The used block that I got yesterday, I got from a guy in Archbald, Pa. . It is at engine builders getting magnafluxed and checked.
