Value? 40-41 trk block trapizoid holes

[Newc]

Hi all; I found a once rebuilt truck [95hp 40-41] block, it's .020 over and still has the studs in it, so it is not tested. My $100 offer was refused, but the disassembly and testing is worth another $200 or so. It seems that a deal would have to require the block to pass testing? Thanks for your thoughts. Newc
