I agree that old may or may not be better. I've personally seen brand new cast iron and aluminum blocks leak. Ultimately I may opt to buy a new crate engine, but this opportunity came up.
I'm told the new pistons will give the engine about a 10 or 10.25:1 CR. The block has been sonic tested and is defect free. I've entertained the thought about putting a 428 crank in it, buying some new rods and pistons, but I'm just exploring at this point.
The seller is asking $6,000 for everything, including pulleys, timing cover, distributor, etc.
