I just pulled my 6.5 apart and found #3 cyl cracked. Also the head bolt hole beside it cracked also. There is 394k on the motor. The inside of the motor was very clean no sludge buildup at all. My question is: is there anything that can be done with the motor. Resleve? bolt hole crack? If not anyone got an engine kicking around?

Buy just a block that measures standard & install your internals. try for a 1992/95 block or a 2000 with the 4 threaded bosses at the LH motor mount attaching point. Or if bigger bucks are available buy a new GEP bare block & stuff it with your internals..
