[quote=Al_Alguire]That block is BOTH sides. The other side is far worse missing about 11" of pan rail and skirt. Also took out 5 cylinders into the bottom water jacket on three of them. Anyone want it feel free to come and get it.

Part of it..It is actually broken across the next cross bolt up to the oil pump area

I would take it for free for a mock up block and pay the shipping. Lol. Unfortunately, shipping would probably cost more than it would ever be worth.

but then there would be nothing to hold Al's mailbox up!

I don't think it would be economically viable to repair the damn thing. It is way worse on the inside than the outside. Then you do what, trust it to build a 1000hp build? I think not..

Jay it would be gone already but we are to lazy to lift it up and put it in the shop dumpster. Damn thing is 8 feet tall...Grrr...When we do some house remodeling we will load it in that dumpster..You have seen the mess that it is..

Al - do you think the actual block was the root cause of the failure?

No not a block problem at all....

I've tucked mine between two bushes against the wall. They're growing nicely and it will be there for the next owner whenever that happens

Us racers are all the same. It could be blown-up and busted into 3 pieces and we still hate to scrap it. I have a set of W2 heads that cracked still leaning against my shop wall. One of these days I'll knock one over and break my foot and I still probably won't throw it on the scrap pile.
