Bad news on the 340 block.
The engine guy called today and after hot tanking the block, 6 of 8 cylinders will need sleeving. He wants to do all 8 at this point. So all that plus cam bearings and decking the block will be around $2000.
Weighing my options… I have to call him back soon and let him know if I want to go ahead or scrap the project. :-(
