Apologies for the delay in response I've been talking to machine shops and figuring out options. While yes that "Straight edge" isn't exactly straight I had it confirmed that it would need serious work. The bores are in good condition and it appears to be an okay block otherwise however; The oil rings are shot, the block has 400,000KM on it and I don't have faith in the bottom end immediately letting go if I slapped some heads on it. At the moment I'm saving up to purchase a decked 255 short-block and I plan on building the bottom end with a 257 crank, forged pistons, and rods. I was originally planning on just slapping heads onto the block and slapping it in to get the car rego'd however things change so now I will just get this motor built and put it in, I also need to replace all the hoses as both of my motors had enough scale buildup and damage that I cant salvage anything besides the coolant crossovers.
