Is the 270 close enough that you could give it a good inspection before you buy it? Is the price negotiable?
It would give you a chance to make the most beneficial modifications while you assemble it. #1 better intake, #2 better exhaust, #3 a cam more suited to your use. A totally stock 270 may be best suited.
I went to another machine shop today and he says he thinks its repairable but I might need a new crank. So looks like Im going 270 after all, im sure someone on here could locate a crank if I need one, I will for sure need a 1 rod cap. And 2 rod nuts, a cam, lifters and the hard parts bearings and pistons.
