I would say not... I haven't seen one that bad in quite awhile.

Worth fixing? Oh absolutely! A little JB weld, a bit of buffing, it'll be fine.....

It's a 4.0.. I don't see an issue. It would still run. :P

Can be sleeved at the machine shop, or just toss a salvage engine in there. Or get a new block.. Replacement engine will be cheaper in the long run I think.. Use the old block for a snazzy coffee table!


Bonus: Pen holders!
