I'd be pissed if anyone tried to pass off a block like that to me.
It is probably a stronger block that way than from the factory. Good reman outfits don't just reassemble the engine, they offer a warranty so they don't want to see it again. jim
Tranny is at the shop being freshened up, all the misc. parts are ordered and I'm taking the oil pan and pickup tube down to Engine House to be hot tanked tomorrow.
I have a trailer lined up to exchange my boat anchor for the new long block when I get back from my Moab trip. Hope to have the E-350 back on the road in June.

I doubt it. Even guys who weld cast blocks all the time say they are grenades.
Oil pan was hot tanked over the weekend. There's a finish inside that has chipped off in places. I wire brushed and pressure washed it this morning and finish that is left is very tuff. Should I recoat the inside before assembly or leave it alone? If recoat with what?
When I built racing engines in the 60's we painted the engine oil gallery's with Glyptal® Red Enamel. New oil pan is $131 from Motortcraft. Glyptal is expensive, $30-$50 per can. Sounds like new pan is the best deal!
