bad news about block

I talked to the machine shop late yesterday. He said if I bring in another block, he won't charge me anything for the work on the first one. But if I just want to come pick up my parts, he would have to charge me a few bucks for the one cylinder that they bored. Oh, and they did pick what looked to be the worst cylinder, but he said they were all about the same. It's just that the pitting on some cylinders was farther down into the hole.

More good news, the crank mag'd out okay and went .010 under on the rod and main bearings. The rods also checked out okay, but he hasn't bushed the little end or installed the ARP bolts yet.

So, I'm still on hold trying to locate another block.
