I personally question a used standard bore block that's 50 years old. I've never had one with perfectly round cylinders that didn't need bored.

At least the price is right, but I'd want it align honed and make sure everything is squared up, then bored and honed with a torque plate before I used it. For $250 you can afford to spend a little for proper machine work.
It was not left to sell. It was never picked up, The machine shop owner could not pay for construction work so he gave the construction guy some engines he had that were never paid for or picked up. He has an Olds 455, Ford 5.0 and others. I am getting it from the guy who got paid in engines.
