Do you like frustration? Lol.

Buying a "bare" block WITHOUT the original girdle is the best way to get yourself into a lot of trouble. If you put another girdle or aftermarket girdle on your engine you will need to get an align bore, in which case you will need to find yourself a VERY reputable shop to do so.
