Guess I should update the thread here,
So, bought a new/used block from a great guy over in okatoks, block was sleeved back to original bore, and had a re-ground crank and repoured bearings. The engine had been run for a while but not very long. Had to pull .004” out of the full stack of main bearing shims to achieve proper clearance.
