I bought a 455 block from John Bailey. The block had a broken starter mount hole that was repaired. John pointed this out to me before I bought the block. I told John that I wanted to have the block Mag'ed and the repair checked, he said fine, if there was any problem, bring it back. I had it mag'ed and and it tested fine but my machinist was concerned that it would not clean up with an .060" overbore, it was already .030" over. I called John and he said that he would refund my money. I told him that I would cover the cost of boring the block and if it was ok that I would keep it. He said fine, go ahead if it didn't clean up he would refund the money that I paid him for the block. The block cleaned up just fine. I will be entering the large journal crowd within the next year. Time to start collecting parts.
I couldn't ask for a better transaction. I will now buy a crank for it from John.
