There is a huge difference between blocks and "good blocks"; a guy buys a bunch of engines 15 years ago and stuffs them in a shed or under the stairs (my favorite spot). How many of those were magna-fluxed and pressure tested. Not hardly a one in my opinion.

My experience is that "field engines" (ones not out of good running cars) are just that for a very good reason. I was given one once, about 25 years ago; never again.
