Tonight when he gets home from work Dan and I are going to meet with the guy who has the bare 455 block and if it looks good we are going to buy it "just in case" the old one can't be saved, or at least saved reasonably. They don't show up every day, so we don't want to pass it up and then need it later.

I was going to sugest that. I have run a lot of engines with sleves. Also I think I'd get the block just to have it you never know what will let go later.

That's what i was thinking , sleeve that bore and get another life out of that block and buy the other block , oil it up ,and store it for later ,
