Then you can make a decision about line honing it. Cost will be shipping only. PM me if interested.
I appreciate the offer. Sadly, I suspect the block surface is in similar condition. There were 2 OHC engines(1 sprint, 1 base) that were disassembled probably 40 years ago and then set aside and forgotten. I am just trying to salvage what I can on behalf of the owner's family.
Here is a picture of the 2 blocks.
