Looking at buying this for my stroker build. Good deal? Any concerns? All machine work is done except the bore/hone & decking.

I say pull the trigger, you couldn't replicate one for that money. I have a 64 block like this that I had plans on doing the same thing too.

I’m out of town this week but the guy said he will hold it for me. I will post a few better pictures on Saturday when I pick it up.
Should make a good starting platform for a 445” Stroker.

Well... I see one thing wrong with my new purchase. 1-3/4" freeze plugs. Hope this was a good buy.
