BTW, Option 1b with a salvage block is in the ballpark of $7K installed (~$5K of that in parts). Better than ~$11-12K for the new block, but still a lot of cash, especially for an engine of unknown durability going forward. Next thing I want to look into is what an engine rebuild shop would charge to rebuild mine and make it stronger, and how long the process would take assuming no unexpected parts damage.
