Around 0.010" the best I could tell. Not sure how it was mis-drilled but I am going to guess it was done on a rotary table that was not perfectly centered.
The bottom line is whoever did this conversion was pretty sloppy/crude with their craftsmanship IMO. The scary thing about this is the engine rebuilder probably knew this was going to be installed, --or possibly it was done by the engine rebuilder. One good thing was the engine did not vibrate when we test drove it up the road, so either the crank & assy. was balanced --or at least the crank, flywheel, and P/P was not balanced as an assembly. Who knows the real story is behind all of this but if the car was mine, I'd be doing an inspection on that engine just for peace of mind.
