Default Re: What to do with old Model A blocks?

In 1989 I had a disaster B block rebuild that I tried... This was a full pressure drilled crank with a STANDARD sized "C" crank.
Long story short it has several cracks in deck around valves (repairs attempted several times with lock stitch) and I was told that block is junk. Well I had 3 times the going rate for a rebuild in this engine And just could not bring myself to junk it.

Recently I was told that although there are cracks they are in areas that will NOT affect use with an Overhead valve Miller. So it is good that I did not listen to the experts who told me block was junk!

Maybe the guy saying block was junk was going to use it with his Miller!!!
