Re: would it be worth the trouble

[Dodger7998@xxxxxxx]

Unless you are trying to do a numbers correct restoration, I would  say no, 
  True the big blocks are getting harder to come by every day,  they are 
not scarce to the point of spending that kind of money, would be great  if the 
crank could be saved to replace  a later model cast one.

hi alllll
i have a h.p. 440 -375 horse from a 69  rt.
i got from a deal where i bought a 65 dodge 440 convertible.
how  ever i took the motor apart and one side of the motor looks pretty 
good but  the other side
look like it dropped a valve and cracked the head and looks  pretty 
rusty(clylinder walls that is head too)
but would it be worth  putting new clylinders in it.
what do you all think.
thanks jack
