Pontiac Dude - Exactly my thought, why the heck did they work it and put caps on it. Like I said, I selected a block, was a 69 casting, waited 3 years, and when I dropped the stuff off to have the machine work done, they did that one. Not even going to go into it, and I'm sure it was a mistake. Someone else must have gotten my block though. So you say to bail out on the block then? Would be destine to grenade? What power level do you think I can get away with? Just do another block?

Flamedabone - What were you doing when that let go? Hammering it? Spraying it? Was that a 4.250 stroke engine? And the block was sonic/mag'd when you put it together? Doesn't really look like 4 bolts/studs would have helped that?
