Cracked!!!

Well finally gettin onto my 400 build. Found out today my block was cracked in the lifter gallery area. Good thing it was baked first to find this. Looked ok before hand. Also this block has an ID of 7D29 nearly 2 months after the apparent fix after mar2/77. So the machinist has found me another block already baked and ready to go. Hope it's a gooder. Using Tim's 12.5cc dished pistons for stock heads on this build with a comp 265 deh. Hopefully should be around 9.3:1 or slightly under=) Any ideas on power/torque???

one would need to know the other componnts of the build in order to estimate power.
carb? manifold? headers? valves & porting work on those stock heads? etc...
