FWIW, I would never buy a bare block. I figure it would have been stripped, inspected and found to be too bad to spend any $ on so it was left. I'd only be buying trouble. On top of that, it seems no body keeps the main bearing caps. What is the use of a block without those - other than an anchor!? An engine that hasn't been stripped is a gamble but a far better chance than a rejected block unless the seller has had it tested and can show the results.
