Reconditioning an engine block - what do?
« on: May 31, 2023 - 10:04:50 PM »
Hello all, long time no see. I'm finally in a financial position to start piecing together my project little by little. First step, I want to secure a 440 engine block.

First, what should I be looking for in a used block? What should I avoid?

Second, are there any good books or other sources of information that can give me a step by step guide on how to clean and recondition the block? I would like to do as much of the work myself as I can, though I have no experience with block machining, so I'll leave the bore and deck honing to a professional.
