I completely agree!The little 332 Lincoln Y Block that is in the C600 now belongs in the front of a hot rod, not in a big truck.
It's been too long for me to have an idea, but I do know that it's not cheap. Your best bet is to call around to different machine shops and ask them.On average how much does it cost to resleeve a block?
My opinion is YES! If you can at all, hold on to it. A resleeve isn't cheap, but it may be a way to save another engine. Not to mention that they aren't making these engines anymore so I feel that any one that we can save, we should.debating if I should keep it or not.

I'm not throwing away my cavitated block! I really didn't like turning in the 6.9 that had a rod hanging out of the side of it for a core when I got my turbo IDI motor. But what was o gonna do with it? I did pull everything out of it, even the good pistons and rods. Wish I'd kept the heads, but alas you do what you can..... I kept the IP and hard lines!.

What the hell is that white stuff all over place?? It looks like it’s falling from the sky!! Dam that looks nastyI never said it was a good reason, just the cards I was dealt. Just trying to turn barley into beer. As luck would have it, I found a complete 7.3, just 10 miles from the house about 3 weeks after I got started with the junk yard short block. That engine is now sitting on a rolly cart for now, and all the extra parts from the 6.9/7.3 hermaphrodite build are getting put on the shelf until I am ready to rebuild that motor, which I am thinking may end up in my 1960 Ford C600. The little 332 Lincoln Y Block that is in the C600 now belongs in the front of a hot rod, not in a big truck. A 7.3 IDIT would be a much better fit for that application....

I say the same thing when I see it in their pictures. There's a beach not far from me, Navarre beach that has white sand like that. But I don't know about the other stuff.What the hell is that white stuff all over place?? It looks like it’s falling from the sky!! Dam that looks nasty

@Far Right is in Australia, so he really doesn't know. I'm in NW Florida, I've seen real snow one time in Rockford IL, and it kinda snowed twice in my 41yrs in this area.Dihydrogen-Monoxide in a crystallin structure.
I spent the 1st 35 years of my life in Northern Wisconsin, Northern Minnesota, and North Dakota. Then I decided to take a job in South Western Missouri. I still get a kick out of Southerner's reaction to a bit of snow. But then when you are used to dealing with it for 5 months out of each year, it is no big deal.
My old house in the Red River Valley of Minnesota, March of 2018.

Wow do you seriously have to shovel a path to get out of your house, I can’t imagine how bad it would be to freeze ya nuts off every time it rained let alone have to shovel the stuff out of ya wayDihydrogen-Monoxide in a crystallin structure.

The one time I saw the snow in Rockford, it did like 6in in the night. So I figured, " hey, it's my chance to make a snow man" right? So I started rolling that stuff into a ball and was fasinated with how you could just keep rolling it bigger and bigger........ and then I realized I couldn't feel my hands. They were frozen. It's pretty until the salt truck comes and a less than 5yr old vehicle drives by that's bearly holding together. I do get tired of the heat and humidity, but I don't know about snow. My father in law says he used to bring his car battery in at night when they lived up there.What if ya wake up n have a flat tire, do you have to shovel a path to get at it n then lay in it to do the job, an I suppose you conveniently have to dress like the micheilin man every time you leave the house, what you get itchy balls dressed like that??
