Re: Rusted block, repairable?
Do you know any history of this engine? Was it stored outside or in a leaky shed for years? You should be able to find the blueprint dimension for the distance from the pan rail to the deck surface, which will tell you how much the block has been resurfaced, if any.
How deep are the pits in the cylinder wall? It may clean up without sleeving. B blocks no longer grow on trees so if there are no fatal cracks either you (or the next owner) should save it.
