Default Can this be fixed?
Hey guys. Was looking at buying a spare ls1 block to build up on the side while I daily my vette, and was going to buy this until this guy sent me these pics. But, being as its now a hell of a deal, I'm curious to know if this is fixable? Any engine builders here to chip in, please do. Thanks!

given the area and what year of ls1 i would pass on this one,...early ls1 could not be bored out much at all..and would hate to spend money on it just to have it fail down the road..

Don't forget to coat with Zaino afterwards. It will add HP
