What about a remanufactured 5.0 ? A turn key engine is outside my available funds. Would this work with the EFI and the current manifolds on the motor I currently have? Item # 5000 RRR

Give the folks at Michiganmotorz.com a call, they have very good customer service and will be able to tell you what will and what won't work. They can probably find you something in your budget.

You cant just arc weld the block as it is made of cast iron. It takes a special type of welding to do that by a very experienced welder who knows how to do it then also like said before it may be damaged elsewere. I believe your best option would be a marine long block most likely the less expensive option considering the per hour cost that marine mechanics charge. Remember that not just any mechanic can do marine work only marine mechanics know what to do and what to watch out for in the replacement process. It will cost you more but it will be done correctly.
