Can this motor be fixed?
As some of you know, I locked up my motor about 4 years ago, and the car has just been setting. Well got around to tearing it apart. I believe it can be fixed!! What do you think?

yeah, actually I just posted this as a joke. Been working with Will, (rklessdriver), and he is going to build me something bigger, stronger, and faster. Kinda like the six million dollar man, just hope it dont cost me as much!!

What is the reason to keep this block? You trying to stay matching numbers?
The Sleeve has to have a shelf at the bottom that isnt cracked. Did these guys mag the lower end? To me you are really spending needless money on this block and if its cracked in the lower end, you have a bomb. You can pick up a replacement for not a heck of alot of money.
