Pick a block

Question 1; Any C.I.D.
Question 2; Around here, the cost of sleeving 8 cylinders is more than stupid expensive. For the price, I’d gamble on a rusty pictured 340 block that has the description of “Left outside to rot the last 30 years, ....”
No I'm talking about quality cores, around here there's a guy up next to Portland that I met at woodburn drag strip that are pretty into sleeving he quoted me a price of $700 but that was a couple years ago
