Default Re: 3969854 engine block

Well...if that's the size then the only thing left to do is have the block sonic checked for the wall thickness. Any competent machine shop can do this for you...along with having the block magged to check for cracks. If the walls are too thin, you will have constant overheating issues and eventually one of those cylinders will crack.

454 blocks are plentiful here in the states...not sure where you are, but it might be better to source another block to start with.
