    advice needed

    So I picked up a bare block with a crankshaft a few months back, but needs an in-line bore. Was told it was 1000 euro just to fix it before ordering parts to put the engine together. I still have it but bought a motor from MartyO. Just wondering, do yall think it is worth it to fix it and use this one as a spare or even build it up for performance (aka bore, etc.) or should I just make it into a coffee table?

    I'd build it, make is a spare long block, then store it in your living room as a coffee table,
    Win win.

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.
