Hello, guys. I picked up this 7bolt short block from a junkyard and didn't look at it too closely (it was cold and snowing!) until I brought it to the shop. I've done a lot of car work but not so much with tearing into the engine other than timing, etc.
The reason for going with a used short block instead of rebuilding mine is strictly financial. I just want to get my car running again while I build my 6bolt up thru the year. Anyway, the idea was to buy this, bolt on the heads and go!... I didn't anicipate any additional work being required.
Is this something I can clean up? ...or will there be pitting I need to be cautious of?
Looking forward to getting back into DSMs!!
