Oh, my Lord, NO. Assuming you are not comfortable just "rolling the dice" with the understanding that they could come up snake eyes and you'll be SOL, I suggest you offer to escrow the money with a local-to-him lawyer/barrister/etc. pending a look-see by your local machinist. The escrow fee should be less than the cost to ship the block here. I would not just "send him the money on faith."
