My poopy conquest and it's cracked block

[MustGoFaster]

Wow, never saw that in my SQ ownership. :( :( for you. Maybe get your block sleeved?

[niterydr]

:( Bummer man.

[FattyBoomBatty]

Nah, no sleeves needed, just need to get it back together and get 'er tuned.

Just picked up this bad boy today. Too bad the car had to stay with the owner.

[MustGoFaster]

Nice, fairly easy to find?

[FattyBoomBatty]

Yeah, it was a bit of a surprise that someone I knew locally had a spare. I had totally forgotten that he had it. But it looks fine, it probably would be fine just tossing it in there with stock pistons and junk, but he wanted to keep the crank cause it was mint so I just took the bare block. I'll transfer all my stuff to it if it checks out, which it will. Hot tank is a must, it's kindof filthy. Then it'll get bored to fit my slugs and then it goes right back in the beasty.

Your bouncing back quick, good work!

[FattyBoomBatty]

What's crappy though is that I can't just pop it in, I have to have it bored out, which costs money, I have to buy a lower end gasket kit, I have to have the head checked for warpage (maybe I can do that myself).

[MustGoFaster]

At least you don't need new pistons, rods or crank work though. A bore and gaskets aren't too bad, would have been cheaper if your old block didn't decide to be a boat anchor though. And yes, I want to see you use it as one! :bengals:

I have a few snap-on straight edges and feeler gauge sets, let me know when you what me to stop by and check the head. No charge as it can be on the way home from work.
