So,my lifelong poor luck has maybe surprised me for the first time in my life? It did come with a forged steel crank that I gave away a couple of years back. If it is a real early 69 z28 block then it will be for sale. Surface rust only from being in dry storage after .030 bore job. I never honed it out to size as I didn't have the pistons or rods. Anyhow, the amount of rust that is in it will come right off in a jet washer before honing bores out to size. I left .004 for honing purposes. Interesting thing to note is he claimed it was a 1968 327 4 bolt Corvette block (fabled?). Told him it looked like a common 350 4 bolt block and steel crank to me.Thanks for the info. Can anyone else confirm this for me?
