There is a guy local that has this 390 truck block. It's a standard bore D3TE. I could probably get it next to nothing. He's done the drill bit test...and at first guess, I would say it would go .080". However, it's been windowed and repaired. No damage to the cylinder skirts or any evidence that a rod has been tumbling around inside...It's been repaired....but really doesn't look good to me at first glance. I'll show a pic.....Let me know if you guys think this is even worth considering. Would a mag-flux show any cracks on the repair? The repair looks to be between cylinders 3-4.
