409 crack repair

[tripower]

You guys (mainly Dan) completely ruined a pretty good thread. I will never be able to come back to this one! Maybe if I click a couple of times with my eyes closed.

Dave, You opened the door... I'm glad you enjoyed it...

Dan you're crazy......................... Good looking job on the block will the deck height have to be checked or at least the flatness across? that crack looked to be pretty close to the top of the block

 

[Ronnie Russell]

Really looks good, Brian. Is there a crack on the other side too ?

Nice job Brian! How long has that kit been on the market??

 

[Don Jacks]

At least 10 years that I've read about.

Ronnie,

This is a 422 boat engine with very low running hours, The block was crack on the one side only I have had the block hot tanked and checked for other cracks a ok! Only had to be honed and some new cam bearings installed along with soft plugs I will be building this one for my nephews 62 Impala

Nice Job Brian... Hit that scar with a needle gun and it will disappear...

I presume the head bolt's go down way beyond the cracked area, and not pull on area between crack and top of deck.Also will that crack affect deck surface as someone else asked about this also , but no one has responded.
