One other thing to check before spending funds on your block is the size of the bore. if it is at .100 over it "should" be sleeved back to standard bore. Just another reason to look for another block. I do not know where you live but around here Model A engines that are not runners are cheap, $100.00 or so, just a block goes for $50.00 + or- .

Block is original. It has been rebuilt at some point and my guess based on some evidence would have been in around ‘81-‘82 timeframe. Mechanically it’s very runable.
