Is this block legit?
There is a block on ebay (Item number: 7925772441) I am thinking about biding on the only thing is they say it has
"THERMALLY CLEANED AND SHOT PEENED, MAGNUFLUXED, BORED AND TORQUE PLATE HONED TO .030, AND THE DECKS OF THE BLOCK HAVE BEEN MILLED. THIS BLOCK IS TRULY READY FOR SOMEONE TO BEGIN ASSEMBLY"
do you guys think this is by looking at the pics. I would not know how to tell.
If I do end up getting this block what should be done before assembly.

I would think you could get a block near you and have those things done for less then what they want, plus shipping. Also The guy doing my engine will not bore it unless he has the cam and crank to do the bore. I have no idea how those guys do there bores, so I would be careful. just my thoughts,

I think you might have trouble finding someone that will assemble w/out doing half the work over to make sure it's right. I don't think builders like taking anyone elses word for it.
