 Have they considered using explosives?

But seriously...

Valves and guides always need to be replaced, original pistons should never be re-used, and the liners will need to be bored or honed anyway.  What I'm getting at is what you can't get to isn't worth much, especially if your machine shop is charging $50-$75/hr to try.

I'm pretty sure Bruce Madden has about a dozen core blocks sitting at his shop here in Atlanta that he sells for roughly $350 each.  Either Bruce or I can build your engine complete if you want to go this route.for a torque-plate.
