i paid $800 for my block on here and you can find some good
forged parts on here to fill the block with and even make a
468 or a 496 for cheap, (not too cheap) but yea charlie said
since you've sprayed your stock cast sbc already i would swap
the life on that sbc after being sprayed is edgie especialy with
cast slugs and crank, cast parts don't last too long on spray
good luck :wink:
