I'm good right now but I would have gladly blunked down 3000.00 for the right R block IF and only IF it was machined ready to go or close to it. I wouldn't want to have to have 1000.00 worth of machine work done to a cast iron block. That's a big reason I buy used and apart. My Keith Black block was the only one I bought new and other than my mistake of not having the block drilled for pushrod oiling it was ready to go. A friend did the needed drilling for pushrod oiling.
