Well now you have a purpose in life, to find the "perfect" block... now if you were a factory race team they'd probably let you have the pick of 50, but it's gonna be work pulling even half a dozen and hoping you find one better.

DD1: '02 T&C Ltd, 3.8 AWD. DD2: '15 Versa Note SV, replacing.. DDx: '14 Versa Note SV << freshly killded :( ....... Projects: '88 Voyager 3.0, Auto with shift kit, timing advance, walker sound FX muffler on 15" pumpers wrapped in 215/65/R15 H rated Nexens.... and a '95 phord escort wagon PnP head << Both may need to go :( ..... I like 3.0s ... so??? ... stop looking at me like I've got two heads!
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I guess my biggest concern is that I'd be spending close to $2000 rebuilding a very worn block and am stuck with .040 slugs should something happen. Just seems like a large investment for something that could inevitably be replaced by something in better shape (i.e. a fresher block that doesn't require the max overbore)
Not to mention the crank needs to be cut .030/.030.
Just doesn't seem like a cost effective build.
The hunt for a decent CB ensues.

The crank in my T2 was cut .030/.030
Can you guys help me verify what block this is. Dude said it's from a '90 Lebaron Turbo (GTC?)
It looks like a CB, but I can't tell for sure. Thoughts?

Looks like it has the fuel pump hole in the side still and the block date is 8/29/88, makes it a late '88 non-common block.
Square or round tooth timing belt? Round tooth is CB, square tooth is 98% non CB.

Keep it coming fellas. I asked the guy if it's round or square tooth.

Don't the balance shafts automatically make this a common block?
Appreciate the feedback guys. Looks like I may have found the ticket.
