Having a 36 I bought a few LB engines, every one was cracked, the cylinder walls are thin, break through and loose most of original cylinders when sleeving , 2 of them were running ok even though they had intake valve seat cracks---- most other engines I have had good luck in buying blocks without problem cracks.
At Hershey I was looking at a 36 engine that most likely was LB, it turned over but had no compression on 2 cylinders, logistics of moving it kept me from buying it for 200$--- I did buy a T engine for 10$ because it also came with a stand on wheels ( good block, standard bore, no cracks)
