To 65, A lot of friends I have say good things about you, I was hoping one day to meet you. Thats why I don't understand your comment. I'll wait for your explanation. I'm not a nasty disrespectful person unless somebody goes too far insulting me or others. I am very passionate when it comes to my degree in engineering and the respect to all people. Sometimes I get so pissed when people put down others my mouth gets overridden by my ASSHOLE and I'll say stupid ****. For that I will apologize to all I have offended. You would probably love my machine shop, I do all my own work, milling, boring, hot tank line boring, porting and polishing. I have built many BIG hp motors for the local boys who love to race. The sad part is they like street racing, I guess because of street outlaws. I believe racing is for the track not the street but, that's just me. I lost my brother in a street race many years ago. My passion however lives on strong and in his memory. So, if the block in question can be repaired and the one who owns it is ok with it, I say go for it and good luck. I just wouldn't do it.
