When I was waiting for a good news that engine is finally completed. Couple days ago, I got bad news from engine mechanic... so just when I though I was out problems pulled me back in...
Mission is to restoring STOCK ENGINE 3.0cs
I bought and bring everything needed
1- used good condition engine head
2- used good condition engine crankshaft (purchased 3 and returned 2 to find a good one)
3- Already brought new pistons from Vac motorsports usa costs over 1k
Bore size is 89.50 Compression ratio standard.
4- Other stuff like everything in the engine head and block, brand new oil pump etc.
Now I am told somewhere in my engine block there is crack damage whatever... It is in the picture.
I am told that it is fixable with cylinder "covers" something like this.
but if we can find a good used block would be better after all that investment on a stock M30B30 engine. However I am not able to find M30b30 block but maybe there is a m30 b35 block available.
Now I have 2 questions first is technical other one is your opinion.
1- Can I put m30b35 block and use everything I got especially pistons ?
I found this in my search but I need clear answer I am really an expert on engine stuff.

2-Is it really a bad point to have b35 block which is not stock obviously. Until now I am trying to do everything stock. Just give your opinion about it.
