Is the block ruined?

I don't know for sure yet, but either way I need to find a running take out.

Re: Wanted: 8v53 Running Take Out
If I come across one I'll let you know. I had both the 8v53na's in my 47 Commander rebuilt a couple years ago, and it was an easy in-frame rebuild. The parts cost was about $4k per engine, and that included a lot of stuff you may not need. I don't know that you're going to do much better buying a used one where you're buying whatever problems it was removed for, along with the engine. Just a thought. If the block doesn't have a hole in it, there is no reason to replace vs. rebuild.

I believe someone posted some in the Facebook group recently. Running takeouts.
