Refurbishing an old block (is it worth it?)

[2Tone5.0]

I was taking apart my old block because i am putting a new DSS stroker in my fox. after taking off the heads i took a good look and feel of the cyclinder walls and noticed a good amount of rivits (probably explains the blowbye on the blower). I plan on refurbishing it and selling it off to someone. The block is bored out 20 over currently. I was thinking of taking it back to a machine shop and boring it over another 20 to get rid of the rivits and make it a 308 block. From there id just sell off the block itself.

any thoughts on the effort/return on profit?

it'd be at least $80 to get it bored around here, and then a lot of people won't buy a 308 block. Personally i'd keep it as a spare.

I would just sell it as it is. When it is bored, people and machine shops like to have the piston with them to bore it more accurately. The case is always the same with car parts, if you have 100 dollars labor put into it, the value of the part will not increase by more than 100, and usually less than that. If you don't want the block, let the next guy make the choices for it.
