Yeah true - but if it doesn't have the crack (normally under the side by the tranny heater passenger) then would be good indicator its gonna be fine. Plenty of people with a 53 block holding good numbers. The price for a 60k mile engine tho is awesome !! I mean if you could get for 1100 then its not much more than the head alone. And its the full engine.

I might have it magnufluxed just to find everything lol . I wont to know what the tick is, my brother lives nextdoor to me and he says on a cool crisp morning he says it sounds like a hammer hiting a anvil.Here's what gets me, when and how did it screw up.Here's my chance to trim turbo gasket if need be and smooth up manifold.
