Ok, got the motor completely torn down to just the block.
As I said the head looked ok except for the #3 cylinder which was pitted. Talked to Dave at the machine shope and he said that just means there was water in the cylinder.
Got the pressure washer out and cleaned everything on Saturday morning before i went golfing.
The crank in this moter looks and feels alot better than mine does.
Whereas the head, cam and pistons from my cracked block looks alot better than this one does.
So, I have one block and two of everything else. I have a couple of sealable plastik carriers that I am using to keep all the parts from both engines seperated. Also went to dollar tree and got some sealable bags and a permanent marker to put bolts and small parts in.
Dave at the machine shop says that they weld aluminum so I will give them a chance to fix the bell housing. He also said that if they can't weld it, it should not be hard to find a cheap replacedment.

* Check xsmn and xfer for damage.....................done
