With all those cracks (and more you say) was it an 'engine rebuilder' at all that did the work..to your knowledge? Just saying that I'm not a builder, but wouldn't start on a block with that cracked condition without repairs, etc...
The original builder had a shop in Colorado but is long gone. You are right, I reject blocks that look like that.
