The block might be good, but removing the pistons will be the biggest challenge. Beating them out with a hammer will deffinately crack the cylinders. I ur off the roda with a torch uae a 3| hole saw to cut the top of the pistons off and then use a chisel to brake up the piston. Usuall takes a couple days, no short cuts. Then have it tested The cylinders can be bored 1/8 oversize to save the block. Good luck.
